Dontae Rodruis Drew, an 18-year-old Black man, was shot and killed while driving along Dickerson Pike in Nashville on December 6, 2018. Witnesses said a white pickup truck followed the gray Nissan Maxima Drew was in, opened fire as the cars neared Briley Parkway, and struck Drew, who died at the scene; two passengers escaped without physical injury.

Police described the attack as targeted and connected it to an attempted marijuana purchase earlier at Dickerson Pike and Broadmoor Drive. Investigators said the buyers used fake money, drove off with the marijuana, and were chased by the sellers in a pickup that caught up and fired into the Maxima. A murder warrant named 19-year-old Demontez Johnson; he was arrested on April 15, 2019, and later indicted on counts including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault and firearm enhancements.

Visitation was held December 12, 2018, and funeral services took place December 13 at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Antioch. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Drew or the passengers?
