Nathan Barnett, 62, was killed during a meeting in an Antioch, Tennessee apartment complex parking lot on the evening of April 5, 2022. Barnett had arrived as a passenger in a black Chrysler 300 for what investigators say was a prearranged narcotics transaction involving marijuana. After two people from another vehicle entered the Chrysler’s backseat, shots were fired and Barnett was struck multiple times, dying in the front passenger seat.

In the immediate chaos one backseat occupant fled on foot, the other drove away, and the teen who had been driving the Chrysler initially ran from the car before briefly returning and then leaving again. Detectives later found about two pounds of bagged marijuana in a nearby dumpster. The 17-year-old driver turned himself in with his mother and was charged with evidence tampering and felony marijuana possession.

In June 2023 a grand jury returned a murder indictment for 25-year-old Jordan Davis of Murfreesboro, who authorities say was one of the two people who entered the Chrysler. Davis was already in federal custody on separate gun and drug charges. The second person involved has not been publicly identified and the investigation remains active. Did anyone in the Antioch or Murfreesboro area see the Chrysler or the other vehicle that night?
