Gerald Leroy Jr., a 41-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on June 11, 2021, in the Preston Taylor Homes complex in Nashville. According to reports, Leroy arrived at the 3900 block of Preston Taylor Place in his own car with another man. An argument between the two escalated into a physical fight, after which the other man drew a gun and shot Leroy multiple times.

Leroy’s girlfriend, who lived nearby, heard the gunfire, found him bleeding on the ground and took him to TriStar Centennial Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Metro Nashville Police described the shooter as a Black male in his late teens or early 20s, tall and thin, with a high top fade; surveillance video reportedly captured the shooting and the suspect running from the scene. Investigators later identified a 16-year-old male as the suspect and said robbery may have been the motive. A month after the shooting, U.S. Marshals apprehended the juvenile in Louisville, Kentucky, and he was charged with Leroy’s murder.

Did anyone in the Preston Taylor Homes area see the car that brought Leroy there or the suspect fleeing on foot?
