Cordero Crowder, 24, was found critically injured in the roadway on Crislynndale Drive near Moorewood Drive in Nashville at about 1:00 a.m. on October 10, 2019, and later died of a gunshot wound. Earlier that night, around 11:20 p.m., Crowder and a 20-year-old man, Kevontae Hammonds, were reportedly shot at by occupants of a passing vehicle while in a parking lot at 721 Due West Avenue.

Crowder and Hammonds then drove Crowder’s 2007 Nissan Murano to the 3300 block of Creekwood Drive, where Crowder was allegedly shot in the head while behind the wheel. Hammonds, the front seat passenger, told investigators he drove the SUV to Crislynndale Drive and pushed the mortally wounded Crowder out of the vehicle. Crowder was taken to Skyline Medical Center and died of his injuries.

The investigation into who fired the shots is ongoing and no arrests had been reported in the initial reports. If anyone has information about the shooting, or saw the vehicle or a passing car in those areas on the night of October 9–10, 2019, please share what was seen.
