Dalen Risby was an 18-year-old from Nashville whose life was ended on the morning of August 31, 2015. A recent Stratford High School graduate, he had just begun culinary arts classes at Nashville State Community College and hoped to cook on cruise ships and one day open his own restaurant. Risby was found in a yard near Oakwood Park with four life-threatening gunshot wounds and died during surgery at TriStar Skyline Medical Center.

For nearly a year the case remained without an arrest. In June 2016 Isaiah Berkley was indicted on a charge of first-degree premeditated murder; he was already in custody on unrelated charges and was held without bond. Investigators say the shooting stemmed from a dispute between Berkley and Risby over a girl and that Risby was driven from a nearby university campus to Oakwood Avenue before the shooting.

Did anyone in the Nashville area know Dalen or have information about his movements that morning?
