Blake Boulton, 22, was found fatally shot inside his 2015 Chevrolet Camaro at the intersection of Stonewall Boulevard and North Tennessee Boulevard in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in the early hours of October 24, 2020. Murfreesboro Police responded about 12:50 a.m. after calls about gunshots; Murfreesboro Fire Rescue and Rutherford County EMS pronounced Boulton dead at the scene.

Detectives later identified a suspect and an arrest was made months after the shooting. Nineteen-year-old Cody Gilliam was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder. A Rutherford County Grand Jury returned an indictment that added especially aggravated robbery, burglary of a vehicle, possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, and employment of a weapon during the commission of a dangerous felony.

Court proceedings were pending, with a trial date set for February 2022 and a later status hearing in March 2023 to assess readiness to proceed; Gilliam remained in the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center awaiting resolution. If anyone knew Blake or witnessed activity near Stonewall and North Tennessee Boulevards that night, please share what might help the investigation.
