Ever Domingo Mazariegos, 25, was fatally shot the evening of August 29, 2025, in the parking lot of the Crestridge Apartments at 1010 Thompson Place in Nashville. Investigators describe the death as a targeted attack that began with an argument between Mazariegos and another man, Emerson Depaz-Pangan.

Acoj-Tecu and Mazariegos exchanged gunfire; Mazariegos was struck multiple times and later died after being taken to General Hospital and then transferred to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Acoj-Tecu suffered a gunshot wound to his hand and sought treatment at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, initially giving officers a false story about being shot on Millwood Drive near a creek.

Homicide detectives identified and arrested both juveniles and adults involved: Acoj-Tecu was charged as a juvenile with criminal homicide and unlawful possession of a firearm and held in juvenile detention; Depaz-Pangan was charged with facilitation of criminal homicide and contributing to the delinquency of a minor and was jailed.

Did anyone in the area witness the confrontation in the Crestridge Apartments parking lot that night or have information about what led up to the argument?
