On the evening of December 12, 2019, 21-year-old Terry C. Smith, a Black man, was shot and killed on a street near the Edgehill Apartments in the 1000 block of Edgehill Avenue in Nashville. Neighbors reported hearing three or four gunshots around 7:30 p.m. Police found Smith lying in the street with a fatal gunshot wound to his torso.

Metro Nashville Police investigators from the Midtown Hills Precinct determined the shooting was not random. Detectives identified 26-year-old Xavier Holloway Jr. as the suspected gunman and concluded Holloway had intended to shoot another person but missed, striking Smith instead. Arrest warrants charged Holloway with murder and attempted murder; he was later located by deputy U.S. Marshals in Pope County, Arkansas, on January 9, 2020, and returned to Tennessee to face the charges. Holloway was convicted of first-degree premeditated/intentional murder and sentenced to 20 years in the Tennessee Department of Correction.

Did anyone in the Edgehill Avenue area witness the shooting or hear anything that could help clarify what happened that night?
