O’Shay Rutledge, 24, was shot in the back of the neck after a family dispute in Nashville, Tennessee, on the night of October 25, 2016. He managed to get to a nearby Midtown hookah bar where emergency responders transported him to a local hospital; the penetrating gunshot wound was the major contributing cause of death.

Police identified O’Shay’s cousin, Charles Rutledge, as the suspect and a Davidson County Grand Jury indicted him for first-degree murder. The case went to a three-day bench trial June 7–9, 2021, and Charles Rutledge was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 28 years in prison; an appeal of the conviction was later affirmed.

Did anyone in Nashville know O’Shay or have information about the events that night?
