In the early morning hours of September 24, 2017, a targeted shooting at the Maple Crest Apartments in South Nashville left two men dead. Thirty-four-year-old Hector Pagada, a Hispanic male, was seated in a black Lincoln MKS with 18-year-old Yeri Gabino when assailants pulled a white Chevrolet Traverse alongside, blocked their car and opened fire. Both Pagada and Gabino were struck multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene.

On September 28, 2017, Nashville police arrested 23-year-old Oscar Delgado-Flores of Smyrna. Delgado-Flores admitted he drove the white Chevrolet Traverse that transported the shooters and served as the getaway vehicle and was charged with two counts of criminal homicide. Investigators identified 20-year-old Luis Colindres-Varela as the suspected gunman, who remained at large as the probe continued. Motive has not been reported.

Anyone with information about Pagada, Gabino or the shootings is asked to come forward.
