An 18-year-old named Zacquez Sherrell was killed during a violent home invasion in Nashville on November 26, 2021. Two armed men forced their way into the Sherrell family’s apartment on Torbett Street and opened fire. Zacquez and his 15-year-old brother Tavarius were both killed; the brothers’ mother, two sisters, and another brother were wounded with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police recovered three firearms inside the residence and believe robbery was the primary motive. One of the intruders, 29-year-old Christian Akail Johnson, a convicted robber, was found dead at the scene. The surviving family members said Johnson and another man had knocked before forcing entry and starting to shoot.

On September 26, 2022, Nashville detectives arrested 30-year-old Keno Lane, identified as the second suspect and an accomplice to Johnson. A grand jury indicted Lane on first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and especially aggravated burglary; a judge ordered him held without bond pending trial.

Did anyone in Nashville know the Sherrell family or have information about the events that night?
