On the evening of March 27, 2020, 20-year-old Kendall Ostine was walking near the intersection of Herman and Blank Streets in Nashville when a blue sedan pulled up and a single shot was fired from the vehicle, striking him. The shooter then exited the car, approached Ostine on the sidewalk and fired several more times. Ostine was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center but died of his injuries.

Witnesses initially described the shooter as a Black man and investigators said the motive was not immediately clear. Community assistance helped identify a suspect; on May 20, 2020, 21-year-old William D. Britton surrendered to police and was charged with murder. Video surveillance from nearby apartment complexes that captured the intersection was entered as evidence at trial.

Britton was convicted of the lesser included offense of second-degree murder and sentenced to eighteen years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. If anyone knew Kendall or saw activity around Herman and Blank on that evening, can you share what you remember?
