Danny Henry Dixon Jr., 30, was shot on January 14, 2022, while sitting in his parked car outside the Stay Lodge on Antioch Pike in Nashville. Dixon drove away and returned fire as he fled, then sought help at a nearby convenience market; the gunshot had severed an artery and proved fatal.

The assailant reportedly had been a guest at the motel and left the scene in a vehicle immediately after the shooting. Detectives identified a suspect, and on January 18, 2022, Metro Nashville Police Department’s TITANS unit took 24-year-old Keion Jemison into custody at an apartment complex on E. Webster Street; he was charged with Dixon’s murder.

If anyone saw activity around the Stay Lodge or the convenience market that night, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward.
