Ashanti Ace Nikole Posey was 17 and a student at Hillsboro High School when she was shot and killed on April 9, 2020. She was driving a silver Chevy Malibu at the intersection of Green Lane and Whites Creek Pike in Nashville after leaving a nearby neighborhood where she and a friend had made a small marijuana sale. An unknown person fired into the car; Ashanti was struck and later pronounced dead at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Her friend was uninjured and drove away to get help.

Investigators found several shell casings at the intersection and say the shots may have come from a vehicle or from people on foot, but no suspects have been identified. The Metro Nashville Police Cold Case Homicide Unit continues to handle the open investigation and is asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously. Ashanti’s school remembered her as a bright, thoughtful student and a member of the Lady Burros basketball team.

Did anyone see activity around Green Lane and Whites Creek Pike on April 9, 2020, or know anything about that night that could help?
