On the evening of October 16, 2020, a burst of gunfire in a parking lot at 1084 Murfreesboro Pike in Nashville left three Memphis men wounded and ended with a fatality. The three were inside a silver Toyota Camry when a vehicle described as a silver Lexus or similar pulled up and opened fire. The driver tried to flee but crashed onto Murfreesboro Pike; officers arriving at about 6:18 p.m. found all three men shot.

One of the victims, 23-year-old Johnathan Patterson, was critically injured and later died at a hospital. The two other victims, aged 22 and 23, were reported in stable condition. The Homicide Unit has classified Patterson’s death as an active case that has cooled into the cold case list; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the vehicle seen at the scene is asked to contact Crime Stoppers. Can anyone who was near 1084 Murfreesboro Pike on October 16, 2020, or who remembers seeing a silver Lexus around that time, help investigators?
