Christopher Brandon McCabe, 22, was fatally shot on April 5, 2022, near the entrance to Nashville International Airport after a Facebook Marketplace transaction went wrong. McCabe, a Gallatin resident born April 24, 1999, had traded his BMW for a Dodge Charger earlier in the week; the traded BMW later broke down on Donelson Pike. McCabe went to help, arriving in a relative’s SUV. A dispute occurred, and he was shot while inside the SUV; he tried to drive away but crashed into a guardrail. Three suspects were seen fleeing the scene.

Metro Nashville Police Department’s Homicide Unit and TITANS Unit investigated. A primary suspect, 20-year-old Brandon Swaby, was arrested on April 10, 2022, at Fort Lauderdale airport while attempting to board a flight to Jamaica and was charged with criminal homicide and held in Broward County pending extradition to Nashville. One perpetrator has been charged; other individuals seen fleeing have not been accounted for in these details.

McCabe was remembered in an obituary and as a father figure to his girlfriend’s son; a memorial service took place April 10, 2022, at Hendersonville Funeral Home. Does anyone have information about the other people seen fleeing that night?
