In the early hours of January 18, 2015, Frank Boone, a 27-year-old Black man, was found dead on the floor of his apartment at the Gazebo complex on Neese Drive in Nashville. Police responded after reports of gunshots and also discovered his mother, Janet Boone, critically wounded in a nearby bedroom. She died shortly after being taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Investigators say a suspect came forward and confessed. Mark Silas Sebastian, 23 at the time, reportedly approached an officer and admitted to shooting both his mother, Janet Boone, and his brother, Frank Boone, saying he did not know why he did it. Sebastian was taken into custody and charged with two counts of criminal homicide, held in lieu of a $500,000 bond.

Frank’s family described him as humble and devoted to family, people and animals, with a passion for fishing and music. Does anyone have information that could help clarify what led to this double homicide?
