On the evening of February 3, 2021, 22-year-old Braxton Cooper drove to the Berkshire Place Apartments at 1500 Porter Road in Nashville intending to buy a handgun in a transaction arranged through an online ad. He was accompanied by another individual. The seller entered the backseat to complete the exchange and an altercation broke out. Cooper was shot while seated in the driver’s seat; he was found critically wounded, taken to Skyline Medical Center and later pronounced dead.

Homicide detectives described the suspect as a young Black man, late teens to early twenties, about six feet tall with a slender build, last seen in a black jacket with a fur hood. The person who had been with Cooper initially left the scene, later returned and cooperated with investigators. On March 10, 2021, detectives arrested 17-year-old Dewaun White at his home on Brookdale Drive; he was charged with Cooper’s murder and booked into juvenile detention after an interview with investigators.

If anyone witnessed the transaction or saw activity at the Berkshire Place parking lot that evening, can you share what you saw with investigators?
