On the night of August 27, 2021, 39-year-old Cecil R. Holmes Jr. was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Edgehill Homes on 11th Avenue South in Nashville. Multiple rounds were fired; Holmes was fatally wounded and died at the scene while the shooter fled on foot. The Metro Nashville Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Detectives developed leads that eventually focused on a single suspect, Tyrone Walker. In April 2023 a grand jury returned indictments charging Walker with first-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm in connection with Holmes’s death. Walker was later placed on the department’s Top 10 Most Wanted list after he could not be located.

In August 2024 officers found Walker in a vehicle in the Edgehill area, pursued the SUV, used spike strips to disable it, and apprehended him after a short foot chase. He was in possession of a firearm and drugs at arrest and is being held without bond awaiting further proceedings.

Did anyone in the Edgehill area see or hear anything the night Holmes was killed that could help investigators?
