On the morning of April 23, 2022, 33-year-old Jesus Camillo Perez was shot inside the Antioch home he shared with roommates. Gravely wounded, Perez ran to a neighbor’s house for help and was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Before he was transported, he identified his 41-year-old roommate, Juan Hernandez, as the person who shot him.

Another roommate in the house reported hearing a gunshot and then saw Hernandez flee. Hernandez left in a gray Nissan Altima belonging to another resident; the vehicle was later reported stolen. Metro Nashville Police Department obtained an arrest warrant charging Hernandez with criminal homicide.

Records show Hernandez had a recent probated sentence from January 2022 stemming from a July 2021 incident in which he pointed a pistol at four roommates during an argument. As of early 2023 he remained a fugitive and was listed on Nashville’s Top 10 Most Wanted. Does anyone have information about Hernandez’s whereabouts or about Perez’s final days?
