On the evening of February 7, 2016, 20-year-old Tijuandre Garrett was shot once in the upper torso at a residence on Eagle Street in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He was taken to St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital and died shortly after arrival.

Detectives identified 23-year-old Juan Carlos Carachure of Nashville as a suspect. In early March investigators executed a search warrant at Carachure’s home with Metro Nashville Police Department SWAT and took him into custody; he was charged with First Degree Murder and Aggravated Robbery. During the same operation, 25-year-old Justin Woodard of Nashville was arrested and charged with Criminal Conspiracy.

Prosecutors say the shooting followed a drug transaction that day: text messages from Garrett’s phone allegedly show he arranged to buy half a pound of marijuana from Carachure for $1,675. A Murfreesboro Police detective testified that the scene evidence, autopsy and blood-spatter analysis did not support a claim of self-defense by the defendant.

Does anyone have information about Garrett’s movements on February 7, 2016, or recall seeing him or a meeting on Eagle Street that evening?
