Steven James Godwin, 35, was found dead in a downtown Nashville courtyard outside the Citizen Plaza State Office Building on Deaderick Street on the morning of March 10, 2022. Investigators concluded he had been fatally shot the evening before after an altercation in the courtyard.

Surveillance footage from March 9, 2022, shows Godwin leaving the WeGo bus station around 6 p.m. with another man described as an acquaintance. The two walked across the street to the courtyard, where the altercation ended when the gunman opened fire.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department named 18-year-old Rodney Catchings as a person of interest and later obtained an arrest warrant for criminal homicide, saying he was in the area at the time and might have information. Authorities were actively seeking his whereabouts.

If anyone saw Godwin that evening or has information about the confrontation in the courtyard, please come forward.
