On October 17, 2019, 30-year-old Temptress Chippie Peebles was shot and killed outside her Morena Street home in Nashville, Tennessee. The shooting occurred in the afternoon during an argument with her ex-boyfriend, 30-year-old Brandon Horton. Peebles’ 8-year-old daughter witnessed the shooting and ran to a neighbor’s house for help after finding her mother lying in the street.

The killing followed a reported pattern of domestic violence. In July 2019 Peebles reported Horton had kicked in her door and pointed a gun at her. On October 6 he allegedly threw her to the ground, punched her in the face and stole her purse from her car. At the time of the fatal shooting Horton was wanted on outstanding warrants for domestic assault, burglary of a motor vehicle and a probation violation tied to those incidents.

Horton fled the scene in a black midsize Chevrolet SUV but surrendered without incident the next day after officers located him at the River Retreat Apartments on Cheyenne Boulevard. He was arrested, held on $1,330,000 bond and has been charged with killing Peebles. If anyone knew Temptress Peebles or has information about the events leading up to her death, please come forward.
