On the night of June 26, 2020, 26-year-old Kayla Phillips-Coker was shot while returning from a convenience store to a residence in the 100 block of Cumberland Avenue in Madison, Tennessee. Struck once in the abdomen, she ran back into the house and was taken to Skyline Medical Center, where she died of her injuries.

Metro Nashville police identified two suspects, both 24 at the time: David A. Watkins and Christopher M. Ferguson. Investigators concluded the shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the suspects and Phillips-Coker’s boyfriend; the boyfriend is believed to have been the intended target and Phillips-Coker was struck in the crossfire. Ferguson told detectives he was driving the vehicle while Watkins, in the passenger seat, fired the fatal shot. Both men were arrested and charged with criminal homicide.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who were in the area that night or who knew Kayla and can share information about what happened?
