On the evening of August 22, 2014, 20-year-old Jorge Garnica was shot outside his Edmondson Pike apartment in Nashville while on a phone call with a friend. The friend heard disturbing noises and the call ended; Garnica was later found on the apartment steps, mortally wounded. Investigators described the killing as a robbery that went wrong.

The investigation led to two suspects. In June 2015 a grand jury indicted 18-year-old Shaquay Dodd on first-degree murder and aggravated robbery; he was already in custody in Bradley County on unrelated robbery charges and was transferred to Nashville on the new indictment. The second suspect, 16-year-old Takyris Simms at the time of the shooting, was charged with criminal homicide and was arrested in Atlanta in 2017 after escaping from the Woodland Hills Youth Development Center in January 2016, where he had been serving a sentence for an aggravated robbery conviction from September 2014.

If anyone knew Jorge, his routines, or has information about the shooting or the people involved, please share what can help the ongoing record.
