On the evening of December 17, 2020, Jamaal Zakiya, 23, was shot and killed inside his Tanglewood Court apartment in Nashville during a dispute over money. The disagreement reportedly had been simmering through the day and escalated when Zakiya refused to give the other man a ride home without gas money; the shooting occurred around 6:30 p.m.

The investigation identified 20-year-old Kardeceo Dardy as the suspect and an arrest warrant for criminal homicide was issued. Dardy’s whereabouts were unknown for several days before he surrendered to the Criminal Warrants Division and was taken into custody on December 20, 2020; he was also facing a separate 2019 charge for evading arrest at that time.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember the dispute or saw activity at the Tanglewood Court apartment on the night of December 17, 2020?
