A meeting arranged to buy a car on Facebook Marketplace ended in fatal gunfire for 41-year-old Venezuelan Alexander Henrique Sanchez-Montilla. On the evening of February 12, 2026, he went to a residence on Winton Drive in Antioch, Tennessee, accompanied by a friend who waited in their vehicle while Sanchez-Montilla entered the home’s garage to inspect the vehicle. After several minutes, gunshots rang out and Sanchez-Montilla was struck in both legs as he ran back toward the waiting car.

His friend drove him immediately to TriStar StoneCrest Medical Center in Smyrna; he was then airlifted to TriStar Skyline Medical Center in Nashville but died in the early hours of February 13, 2026. Investigators believe Sanchez-Montilla was specifically targeted as he fled the garage. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department Homicide Unit is investigating and asks anyone with information to contact Nashville Crime Stoppers.

His family is working to have his body returned to Venezuela. Does anyone have information about Alexanders movements that evening or the Winton Drive area that could help the investigation?
