A family gathering in East Nashville on the evening of April 8, 2017, ended in tragedy when 21-year-old Robert Westmoreland IV was shot at an apartment complex on Bridgeway Drive. He was taken to a nearby hospital after suffering a gunshot wound but did not survive.

Investigators with the Metro Nashville Police Department focused on a family member. Evidence and witness accounts pointed to Robert’s cousin, 22-year-old Demarcus Westmoreland, and police located and arrested him at a motel on Wallace Road in South Nashville. He was charged with criminal homicide in connection with the shooting, which investigators say was tied to an alleged affair between Robert and a woman involved with Demarcus.

Demarcus Westmoreland was tried, convicted of first-degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison. Does anyone have memories of the Bridgeway Drive area or the family gathering that could add detail to what happened that night?
