Shortly after 11:30 p.m. on January 7, 2018, gunfire in the 400 block of Castleview Drive in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, left 20-year-old Martavious Dayquion Roper with life-threatening injuries. Officers found Roper at the scene; he was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and died on January 8, 2018. Another man, Malik Brooks, was also shot in the leg, treated at Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital, and released.

Murfreesboro police identified and arrested three suspects early in the investigation: 20-year-old James Lattimore and two 17-year-old juveniles whose names were not released. All three were charged with first-degree murder in Roper’s death and attempted first-degree murder in the shooting of Brooks. Investigators also said they were searching for a fourth person believed to be involved; that person’s identity was not disclosed.

The motive has not been publicly reported. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knows the unidentified fourth suspect, please share what is known with investigators.
