Isaac Lamont Thomas was 20 when he was fatally shot on the afternoon of July 16, 2020, on the ground level of the Baymont Inn & Suites on Elm Hill Pike in Nashville. Witnesses said an argument preceded the gunfire. Officers who responded to a 911 call found Thomas critically wounded on the sidewalk; he was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and died shortly after arrival.

The initial suspect description was a Black man with dreadlocks pulled back into a ponytail, wearing a black shirt and white pants. Detectives later identified a suspect, and 27-year-old Jerome Perkins was arrested and charged with Thomas’s murder. Investigators say Thomas was last seen getting into a car in Madison; his body was found in East Nashville on Fairwin Avenue.

If anyone saw Thomas that afternoon or has information about the argument, the car he got into, or what happened at the Baymont Inn & Suites, please share what you know.
