Ralos Jones Jr., 29, was shot on 11th Avenue South in Nashville’s Edgehill neighborhood on Monday morning, March 28, 2022. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center but died of his injuries. Authorities believe the shooting occurred during a drug transaction.

Within hours detectives arrested 37-year-old Roderick Orr in South Nashville. Officers reported finding two 9mm handguns, 34 grams of marijuana, 191 methamphetamine pills, two grams of methamphetamine and $443 in cash on his person. Orr was charged with criminal homicide, possession of a weapon during a dangerous drug felony and additional drug-related offenses.

The case raised broader questions about drug activity in the area and how a transaction turned deadly. Does anyone have information about that stretch of 11th Avenue South or about Jones’s movements that morning?
