Prentice Wilkerson, 24, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of Halloween, October 31, 2020. He was driving a distinctive black and yellow 2014 Chevrolet Camaro near 14th Avenue North and Cass Street in Nashville at about 2:20 a.m. when an unknown assailant or assailants opened fire on his vehicle. The gunfire caused Wilkerson to lose control; his Camaro left the road and came to rest in the 2000 block of 15th Avenue North. Emergency crews pronounced him dead at the scene.

The Metro Nashville Police Department Homicide Unit, led by Detective Arthur Hipp, recovered the Camaro and sent it to the MNPD Crime Laboratory for examination. Despite investigative work and public appeals, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the case remains open and has gone cold. If anyone has information about Wilkerson, his movements that night, or observed the black and yellow Camaro in the area, please contact investigators.
