Nashville resident Janiyah Batey, 19, was shot during an attempted robbery in the parking lot of Buffalo Trail Apartments on Dickerson Pike on June 30, 2025, and died of her wounds on July 2, 2025. She drove away but crashed at a nearby Shell gas station and was taken to Skyline Medical Center, where she later died.

One of the alleged robbers, 16-year-old Demario Anderson, was found dead at the scene, and it is believed Batey fired the shot that killed him. Three other teenagers have been arrested and charged with criminal homicide: 16-year-olds Martavious Luster and Adarian Graham, and 15-year-old Demondre Mayfield. Luster later admitted approaching Batey armed and wearing a ski mask. Reports indicate the four had planned to meet in the parking lot intending to rob her.

If anyone has information about the confrontation at Buffalo Trail Apartments on June 30, please come forward to assist the ongoing inquiries.
