Tywane Latez Miller, 37, was shot and killed on the afternoon of April 1, 2022, in Nashville after his vehicle was blocked in a 7-Eleven parking lot at Gallatin Pike and Maxwell Avenue. A white Ford Flex pulled up and at least one person in that vehicle opened fire; Miller, who was driving, died at the scene and his passenger suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

An East Precinct officer later spotted the Ford Flex and pursued it onto the interstate, then broke off the chase because of the high speeds. The suspects’ vehicle crashed on Interstate 40; the three occupants then carjacked a Subaru Forester, assaulting its driver, and abandoned the stolen Subaru in a Bordeaux neighborhood.

Three suspects have been identified. Michael Clay, 31, was charged in September 2022. In March 2023, 31-year-old Deshawn L. Smith was arrested on a first-degree murder and aggravated robbery indictment. A third suspect, 19-year-old De'Tynn Smith, was wanted on a grand jury indictment for first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, and possession of a gun during the commission of a felony; detectives asked the public for help locating him.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the whereabouts of De'Tynn Smith, please share what is known.
