Twuan West Jr., 27, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of July 9, 2021, after a dispute outside a Super 8 motel on Murfreesboro Pike in South Nashville. The argument, occurring about 5:15 a.m., involved West, another man, and a woman and was described by authorities as related to prostitution. The man and woman fled the scene in an SUV after the shooting.

Metro Nashville Police Department’s Homicide Unit identified 36-year-old Anthony Darnell Stewart as the suspected shooter; the woman who was present was treated as a witness. On August 19, 2021, a team of detectives and officers, including Special Response Team and TITANS Unit members, found and arrested Stewart hiding in a false chimney in the basement of a Coleridge Court residence in Antioch and recovered two firearms. He was charged with West’s murder and held on a $1,000,000 bond.

Does anyone have information about the events that night or who was in the area around the Super 8 on Murfreesboro Pike?
