Terrell Edward Ray, 30, was shot multiple times in the back outside the Villager Condominiums on Middle Tennessee Boulevard in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on August 2, 2019, just after his birthday. He was standing outside his girlfriend’s apartment when the attack occurred. The shooter or shooters fled in Ray’s 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, and investigators initially considered robbery a possible motive after the vehicle was taken. The Camaro was later found abandoned in Nashville, which complicated that theory.

Family and friends described Ray as kind, hardworking, respectful and active in his church; he was a devoted father to a 10-year-old daughter. The murder remains unsolved and the Murfreesboro Police Department continues to investigate. A substantial reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. If anyone knew Terrell, saw him that morning, or has information about the Camaro or the people involved, please come forward.
