Jeffrey Jeff Braman, a 56-year-old White/Caucasian man and owner-operator of Braman’s Carpet, was shot and killed inside his Trails End Lane home in the Donelson area of Nashville on August 11, 2020, at about 1:30 p.m. Witnesses told Metro Nashville Police that two Black men visited his residence shortly before the shooting and fled in a dark-colored vehicle after gunfire was heard.

Friends and family remembered Braman as talkative, outgoing, funny and kind-hearted. Authorities have asked the public to contact Crime Stoppers with any information; a cash reward has been offered for tips that could lead to identifying the men seen leaving the scene.
