On the morning of Sunday, October 12, 2025, 17-year-old Amya Finney was found in a bedroom of a home on Bixler Avenue in Madison, Tennessee, with a single gunshot wound to her abdomen. She was two months pregnant; both Amya and her unborn child were rushed to Skyline Medical Center and pronounced dead. A hang-up 911 call from the residence had brought officers to the scene.

Police identified Amya’s 20-year-old boyfriend, Amare Ramey, as the suspect. He turned himself in at the Metro Nashville Police Department’s North Precinct and told investigators the firearm discharged while he was handling it, a claim that preceded charges of two counts of criminal homicide — one count for Amya and one for the unborn child. Records show Ramey was on four years of supervised probation at the time for prior aggravated burglary, carjacking and aggravated assault charges from an arrest in March 2024.

Ramey was jailed on a one-million-dollar bond. No documented history of domestic violence between the couple is reported. If anyone knew Amya, her family, or what happened on Bixler Avenue that morning, information for investigators could be crucial.
