Montae Gray, a 22-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in West Nashville on December 30, 2019. The shooting happened just before noon outside the Skyview Apartments on Susannah Court, where he was known to spend time. Police found Gray on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to his torso; he was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Metro Nashville Police investigators pursued leads early, treating robbery as a suspected motive. Two suspects were identified: Monolito Murphy, 19 at the time, who was already in custody on separate charges including aggravated robbery, felony heroin possession, and illegal gun possession; and Jaylon Woodson, 25, who was later indicted on first-degree murder and was being sought by authorities. Anyone with information on Woodson’s whereabouts was asked to contact Crime Stoppers.

If anyone knew Montae, saw him on December 30, 2019, or has information about the shooting or Woodson’s location, please share what was seen.
