On the evening of June 17, 2018, 22-year-old Taren Lyles was shot while seated in the driver’s seat of her car near Main Street and 11th Street in Clarksville, Tennessee. Two young children, ages one and two, were in the backseat at the time; both escaped physical injury. Lyles was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Friends and family remembered her as a loving and devoted parent while the Clarksville Police Department’s Special Operations Homicide Unit conducted the investigation. In July 2021 the Montgomery County Grand Jury returned a murder indictment for Mark Ellis, 27, and he was taken into custody and booked on first-degree murder, attempted murder, reckless endangerment and weapons charges.

Who in the Clarksville area might have seen Lyles or her car on June 17, 2018, or who has information that could help clarify what happened that night?
