A minor traffic collision in Antioch, Tennessee, ended in gunfire on September 23, 2018, when 27-year-old Jose Luis Vergara was shot after an argument with the other driver. The crash happened in a parking lot at 2051 Antioch Pike; the argument escalated and the other driver produced a firearm and shot Vergara.

The investigation continued for years. Law enforcement later identified Luis Vazquez as the suspected shooter. In November 2022 Vazquez, then 46, was stopped for driving without headlights or taillights on Murfreesboro Pike; officers reported he smelled of alcohol and had a small quantity of cocaine. He was arrested for DUI and found to have outstanding warrants for homicide and aggravated assault in connection with Vergara’s 2018 death. Vazquez has also used the aliases Teodoro Ortiz and Jose Perez-Montelongo and was charged with the murder.

Does anyone who lived near Antioch Pike in 2018 remember the parking lot incident or saw activity related to this case?
