Adrian Rivas-Romo, 23, was shot and killed during an early-morning altercation in downtown Nashville on October 18, 2025. The incident occurred about 2:20 a.m. on Rep. John Lewis Way South just outside the BetMGM Sports Lounge near Bridgestone Arena after Rivas-Romo and friends hired two pedicabs to return to their hotel. A dispute over a fare escalated; both pedicab drivers stopped, and the driver transporting Rivas-Romo, 21-year-old Christopher Jones, ordered the group out of the vehicles.

According to Jones, the confrontation turned physical when one of Rivas-Romo’s friends struck him in the back of the head. Jones said he retrieved a pistol and fired after Rivas-Romo moved toward him. Rivas-Romo was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries. Jones called 911, stayed at the scene, identified himself as the shooter, and his firearm was recovered by police. Homicide detectives are investigating and the District Attorney’s Office is reviewing evidence and witness statements to decide whether charges will be filed.

Does anyone who was in the area that night or who rode pedicabs on 2nd Avenue have information about what happened?
