Medrick Lamont Elliot, a 45-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on the afternoon of May 19, 2018. The shooting happened in the 500 block of Reid Alley; police arrived after 1 p.m. and found Elliot had been shot.

Investigators identified 37-year-old Nathaniel Lamont Buchanan of Murfreesboro as a suspect. Buchanan was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Elliot’s death and released on a $100,000 bond. While out on bond on the murder charge, Buchanan was also charged with possession of cocaine for resale, possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

A warrant was issued after Buchanan failed to appear for a court date in January 2022. On October 20, 2023, he was apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Joint Fugitive Task Force and Rutherford County Sheriff’s deputies and held on a $225,000 bond; he was scheduled to appear in court on November 20, 2023.

Does anyone have information about Elliot, his activities in Murfreesboro around May 2018, or witnesses who might have seen the shooting in Reid Alley?
