Larry Dean Claybaker Sr., 78, was found fatally shot beside his car outside his home on Sterry Court in Antioch, Tennessee. A neighbor discovered him just before 9 a.m. on May 26, 2019. Residents reported hearing sounds like gunshots between midnight and 1 a.m. that night.

Detectives from the South Precinct opened a homicide investigation and have said robbery may have been the motive. Witnesses reported a small blue hatchback, possibly a Toyota, was seen leaving the area after the shooting. No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced and the case remains open.

Claybaker was remembered as someone who helped the homeless and less fortunate, a detail that made the violence especially painful for family and neighbors. If anyone has information about the shooting or the blue vehicle, please contact Crime Stoppers.
