Two friends from Alabaster, Alabama, traveled to Nashville in late April and did not return home. Eighteen-year-old Jamie Valdez-Garcia and 19-year-old Amir Landan Wilkerson were found dead in a wooded area between the Lincoya Bay Apartments and Percy Priest Lake on April 28, 2025. Both victims had sustained multiple gunshot wounds, and Metropolitan Nashville Police Department homicide detectives opened a double-homicide investigation.

Federal partners including the ATF and Homeland Security assisted local detectives. Investigators eventually focused on a 23-year-old, Josue Daniel Hernandez-Moxje, a native of Honduras. A law enforcement database hit on a license plate led to his arrest in Kenner, Louisiana, on June 6 on outstanding Nashville warrants. Evidence recovered from a vehicle was later forensically linked to the killings, and Hernandez-Moxje was extradited to Nashville and charged with two counts of criminal homicide. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and additional charges may be possible.

If anyone knew Jamie, his travel plans, or saw the two young men in Nashville around April 27–28, please come forward with what was seen or known.
