Dorian Banks, 22, was shot dead in the late afternoon of September 21, 2020, in the parking lot of a Dodge’s Fried Chicken and gas station on West Main Street in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The shooting occurred about 4:30 p.m.; investigators say it grew out of a drug deal that turned violent. Banks, a Gallatin resident, was taken to Hendersonville Medical Center and later died of his wounds.

The Hendersonville Police Department worked with Murfreesboro and Metro Nashville police on the investigation and identified three suspects from Murfreesboro: Keion Hayes, Monterrious Moore, and Thomas Watson. Hayes, Moore and Watson were charged with first-degree murder and aggravated robbery; Hayes also faced a weapons charge. Court filings show Hayes later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and aggravated robbery under a package plea offered to him and Moore. The factual basis presented in court said Hayes’s gun fired the fatal shots, and Hayes received an effective sentence of eighteen years. Watson’s case had been severed and he was expected to testify against Hayes and Moore.

If anyone knew Dorian, was in Hendersonville that afternoon, or has information about the people involved, please share what can help the investigation.
