On the evening of May 12, 2016, a shooting at a Lasalle Street residence in Clarksville, Tennessee, left 23-year-old James Tyler Wood dead from a gunshot wound. A second man, 41-year-old Cuong Ba Nguyen, was also found critically injured at the scene and later died of his wounds. Witnesses reported two men fleeing in a white Cadillac after the shots were fired, and police said the attack did not appear random, indicating the victims may have been targeted.

Investigators later named two suspects after tips to CrimeStoppers and an anonymous caller. Gary Mathis Jr., then 25 of Oak Grove, Kentucky, and Domonic Combs Jr., then 25 of East St. Louis, Illinois, were arrested in Illinois, extradited to Montgomery County and charged with criminal homicide in connection with the killings. Neighbors described Wood as friendly and were shaken by his death.

Anyone who knew Wood or has information about the events on May 12, 2016, is asked to come forward.
