Ian Patrick Patterson, 17, was fatally shot on October 11, 2015, while standing outside his car in the James Cayce housing development in Nashville. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died of his injuries. Patterson had traveled to the location intending to buy cocaine and encountered people who planned to rob him; he was shot during the robbery.

Two teenage cousins, Quantarius Newsom, 18, and Charvaris Newsom, 19, were arrested in connection with the case. Quantarius admitted his involvement to investigators and later testified against Charvaris. On May 30, 2018, a jury found Charvaris Newsom guilty of first-degree felony murder and especially aggravated robbery in Patterson’s death. Patterson’s family started a Facebook page and a GoFundMe campaign to raise awareness and help with funeral expenses.
