Noah William Peterson was an 18-year-old from Clarksville, Tennessee, remembered by his family as a compassionate and driven recent graduate of West Creek High School. Nicknamed Hustle, he trained in karate and boxing, played baseball and football, and was described as someone who stood up for others.

On the evening of August 12, 2025, a planned meeting between two groups in the parking lot behind Mizu Japanese Cuisine on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard escalated into a shootout. Police received a call about a shooting at about 7:25 p.m. and found one victim at the scene; a second 911 call about ten minutes later led them to a nearby residence on Cabot Cove where a second man had been taken with a gunshot wound. Both Noah and 24-year-old Makhi Charon Richardson were taken to a hospital and died of their injuries. Investigators say one person from each group was shot and killed during the exchange of gunfire.

The Clarksville Police Department’s Special Operations Homicide Unit investigated and classified the incident as isolated.

Did anyone who knew Noah or who was in that area on August 12, 2025, see anything that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
