In the early evening of May 19, 2016, a quiet street in South Nashville became the scene of a sudden fatal shooting. Vicente Rodriguez, described as a 58-year-old Caucasian man, was approached by an unknown person who reportedly got out of a vehicle, produced a firearm and shot him. Emergency crews responded but Rodriguez’s wounds were fatal and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Nashville Police Department opened an investigation, canvassed the neighborhood and searched for surveillance footage that might show the incident or the suspect’s vehicle. Despite those efforts, no arrest has been announced and the shooter’s identity and motive remain unknown; the case is classified as an unsolved homicide.

Anyone who was in South Nashville on May 19, 2016, or who might have seen a vehicle or person acting suspiciously that evening is asked to come forward with any information that could help resolve this case.
