Linda K. Adams McMurry, 59, was shot and killed on the evening of March 21, 2021, after a dispute on Fain Street in Nashville. She was a backseat passenger in a car driven by her son when an argument and physical fight involving her son, his girlfriend and other people occurred. After the son and his girlfriend returned to the vehicle, someone opened fire; McMurry was struck without her son realizing it and she was later found unresponsive at a truck stop on West Trinity Lane. She was taken to Skyline Medical Center and pronounced dead of a gunshot wound.

The Nashville Police Department Homicide Unit led the investigation and arrested 44-year-old Jenara Higgins on April 6, 2021, charging Higgins with McMurry’s murder. Higgins reportedly implicated himself during an interview. Ballistics testing linked shell casings from McMurry’s shooting to casings recovered at a December 2020 shooting on the same street in which a 29-year-old woman was injured; Higgins had been a suspect in that earlier aggravated assault. Anyone with information about Linda McMurry or the incident is asked to come forward.
