Jerious D. Johnson, 22, was fatally shot on April 30, 2022, in the rear parking lot of the West Park Community Center on Morrow Road in Nashville. Police responding to a shots-fired call found Johnson on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene around 6:20 p.m.

Investigators say the shooting was not believed to be random. Johnson had been a passenger in a black SUV that pulled up alongside a red pickup truck; shortly afterward gunfire erupted. Both vehicles fled the scene, leaving Johnson behind.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department’s Homicide Unit and TITANS detectives reported they were pursuing strong leads in the days after the killing, but no arrests or public identification of suspects have been announced and the investigation remains open. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
