On December 25, 2016, Graeme Whinery, 31, was killed after a roadside confrontation in Nashville, Tennessee that began as a road rage incident while he and his wife were playing Pokémon Go. Whinery was driving a black Volkswagen near Greenwood Cemetery when reports say he braked suddenly in front of a delivery van driven by 53-year-old Vince Freeman. Both men exited their vehicles and a physical altercation followed.

Freeman told police Whinery approached the van allegedly holding a knife and punched him in the face through the open window; Freeman said he then retrieved a pistol and fired. Whinery ran across Elm Hill Pike, collapsed, and later died of his injuries. Whinery’s wife told investigators the dispute started as road rage but did not see the fight.

Freeman stayed at the scene and cooperated with Metro Nashville Police; he claimed self-defense. The shooting was referred to the District Attorney for review and no arrest was made at the scene; there have been no public announcements of charges in the years since. Did anyone in the Nashville area witness the confrontation or the events leading up to it?
