April Wilson, 33, was fatally shot inside her Riverchase Apartments unit on Joseph Avenue in East Nashville on the evening of April 10, 2020, when gunfire from outside tore through her residence. Another apartment was struck but no one else was injured.

Metro Nashville Police investigators focused on 27-year-old Kevin Horner, who had prior convictions for robbery, domestic assault, and vandalism. Detectives say Horner had been at an apartment near Wilson’s and got into a dispute with people at her home before the shooting. The next day, April 11, Horner rear-ended another vehicle on the Ellington Parkway exit ramp to Trinity Lane, brandished a rifle at the other motorist, and fled on foot, leaving the weapon in his car. Forensic testing matched shell casings from Horner’s abandoned vehicle to ones recovered at Wilson’s apartment.

A warrant for criminal homicide was issued for Horner, and he was located and arrested by the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force at a residence in Dickson County on April 27, 2020. If anyone knew April or has information about the events that led to that night, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
