Maria Brown, 29, was killed during a violent carjacking in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 714 Due West Avenue North in Madison/Nashville. Accounts place the incident on the evening of what is believed to be Tuesday, January 16, 2018, though an obituary lists her date of death as January 15, 2018. She was with a friend when the situation escalated and resulted in her death; public details about how the carjacking unfolded are limited.

No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified, and the case has gone cold in the years since. Her family continues to make public pleas for information as the homicide investigation remains open. If anyone has information about Maria Brown, the incident at that apartment complex, or the events of January 15–16, 2018, please come forward.
