On the evening of October 9, 2018, 14-year-old Geovany Hernandez was shot once in the torso on a Nashboro Village street in Nashville and later died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. A student at Antioch High School, Geovany’s family described him as energetic and lively, with interests in video games, singing and soccer. His mother and younger sister were present after the shooting; the sister witnessed him bleeding in the street and his mother told him she loved him as he took his last breaths.

Detectives recovered a single .22-caliber shell casing at the scene. Investigators identified another 14-year-old neighborhood resident, Amarion Johnson, as the suspect; police arrested him at home the next morning and charged him with criminal homicide. The killing was counted as Nashville’s 68th criminal homicide of 2018 and prompted community concern about youth violence.

Did anyone in Nashboro Village know Geovany or see anything that night that could help explain how the shooting began?
