Brandon J. Adams was 18 when he was shot and killed after a meeting in a McGavock High School parking lot in Nashville on October 14, 2018. Adams, a Black student and basketball player at LEAD Academy, drove to the lot with a relative for a prearranged meeting. Another vehicle arrived; one person got into the back seat of Adams’ car while a second person brandished a pistol and threatened the pair. Adams tried to drive away and was struck multiple times. He crashed near McGavock Pike and later died at Skyline Medical Center. His relative suffered only a graze wound. Witnesses described the suspects as two young Black males wearing hoodies and sweatpants, and the person who entered the back seat is believed to have fled before the crash.

Detectives later identified a suspect and in December 2018 arrested 16-year-old Timothy Frazier at Maplewood High School. He faced charges including criminal homicide, attempted criminal homicide, and especially aggravated robbery. The case went through the process of transferring a minor to adult court and experienced pandemic-related delays. A jury found Timothy Frazier guilty in February 2025 on counts including First Degree Premeditated Murder and Especially Aggravated Robbery; sentencing was set for April 10, 2025.

Does anyone have information about that night or about the two vehicles involved that could shed more light on what happened?
