On the morning of August 7, 2014, 46-year-old Danny Wright was working on a vehicle in the driveway of a home on Kings Road in Smyrna, Tennessee when a masked individual approached and shot him multiple times at close range. Emergency crews found Wright with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and torso; he was airlifted to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and did not survive.

The initial suspect description was of a tall, thin Black male in dark clothing who fled the scene in a light-colored vehicle. The Smyrna Police Department, Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation worked the case and offered a reward, but the investigation went cold for several years, leaving Wright’s family without answers.

A major development occurred in December 2019 when a man was arrested and charged with criminal homicide in connection with Wright’s death; that arrest and subsequent court actions came after many years of the case being unsolved. Does anyone have information about Wright, his activities that morning, or the light-colored vehicle seen leaving the scene?
