Charlie Easley was 19 when he was shot and killed on the evening of April 8, 2019, in Nashville. He was found lying in the street near his home at the Point Breeze Apartments on Lemont Drive, having been shot multiple times. Investigators described the death as a targeted act of violence.

Within days police identified two teenagers connected to the case. On April 17, 2019, Metro Nashville Police charged 17-year-old Morris Marsh with Easley’s murder. Authorities also sought Devion Jordan, then 17, as a person of interest in the investigation.

Marsh escaped from the Davidson County Juvenile Justice Center in late November 2019 with three other teens during an unsupervised work detail and was captured after a December 6, 2019, police pursuit at a Harding Place gas station; his brother Rashon Keesee and their mother Tewanna Keesee were arrested at the scene and charged as accessories after the fact. Anyone with information about Charlie Easley or his death is asked to come forward.
