A shooting on a Saturday night in Springfield, Tennessee, left 24-year-old Joseph Sharkley of Gallatin dead. Sharkley was a passenger in a Jeep Cherokee at a market on Central Avenue on March 22, 2014, when an assailant opened fire on the vehicle. Multiple shots struck the Jeep; at least one round passed through the back window and hit Sharkley in the upper body. The driver fled the scene and stopped a few blocks away on Childress Street, where Sharkley died inside the vehicle. The two female occupants were not physically harmed.

Springfield police quickly identified a person of interest and within days issued an arrest warrant for 24-year-old Darius D. Hyde of Springfield. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation added Hyde to its Top Ten Most Wanted list and offered a $1,000 reward. Hyde surrendered to authorities on the evening of March 25, 2014, and was charged with Criminal Homicide and held without bond.

Does anyone have information about Joseph Sharkley’s final movements that night or about witnesses who may have seen the Jeep on Central Avenue?
