Josh Edward Evans was 50 when he was shot during a drug-related transaction inside a North Nashville apartment on Phillips Street on September 4, 2021. His family did not know his whereabouts for days after the shooting.

On September 13, a tugboat crew on the Cumberland River near Basswood Avenue in West Nashville found a bundle floating in the water. Authorities identified the body wrapped in trash bags as Josh Edward Evans, and the Metro Nashville Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators developed leads that focused attention on 47-year-old Adrian Cameron Sr., believed to have information and reported to have threatened witnesses. When SWAT officers moved to arrest him on September 18 at a Days Inn on Percy Priest Drive, Cameron opened fire with an AR-15 and was killed by returning fire. The murder investigation subsequently centered on Cameron’s then-16-year-old son, Adrian Cameron II; an arrest warrant was issued, and he surrendered in March 2022 and was charged with Evans’ murder.

Did anyone in North Nashville or along the Cumberland River see anything on or around September 4–13, 2021 that could help clarify what happened to Josh Evans?
