In the early morning hours of March 31, 2020, a dispute in the parking lot of an inn on Brick Church Pike in Nashville ended with the shooting death of 37-year-old Thomas Edward Boyd. Boyd, who had been a guest at the America’s Best Value Inn, returned around 4 a.m. to collect personal items. He became involved in a heated argument with a man who was in another room with several others; the confrontation moved to a stairwell, where Boyd was fatally shot.

The shooter fled in a blue Chevrolet Traverse. Metro Nashville Police Department said investigators developed strong leads and pursued them. Those leads produced the identification and arrest of Jerry Buckner, a 56-year-old convicted sex offender and robber. Buckner was taken into custody during a required visit to the state’s sex offender registry office and was charged with criminal homicide, held at the Hill Detention Center on $3 million bond.

Did anyone in Nashville see a blue Chevrolet Traverse near the inn that morning or have information about the stairwell confrontation?
