Late afternoon on September 3, 2015, police in Nashville responded to a call about 20-year-old Cianan Derek Napier being suicidal in the Glastonbury Road area. On nearby Patricia Drive officers found Napier, a White male, dead of multiple gunshot wounds. His death was ruled a homicide amid what investigators described as a dispute among a group of young people that had escalated over two days.

Investigators linked Napier’s slaying to a second fatal shooting the next day in Antioch that killed 16-year-old Kevin Ibarra. Authorities identified three teenage suspects: 18-year-old Shirim Khwaga, 18-year-old Markeil Williams, and an unnamed 15-year-old male. Khwaga was believed to have driven the vehicle in Napier’s shooting and later to Ibarra’s residence. Police arrested Khwaga and Williams after following them; the 15-year-old fled into a field with two guns and a container of marijuana before being captured.

Charges announced after the arrests included two counts of aggravated robbery, possession of marijuana for resale, multiple counts of unlawful gun possession and evading arrest. Napier was also being sought on an aggravated burglary charge tied to an alleged attempted break-in a month before his death. Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything in early September 2015 that could help clarify what happened?
