Jose Vivas, a 40-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed in Antioch, Tennessee, just before noon on March 20, 2026. He was working on a Hyundai Sonata in the 5700 block of Crossings Boulevard with another man when gunfire erupted. Vivas was found on the sidewalk near the vehicle, which had its driver’s door and hood open and was left parked in the center turn lane. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

According to family, Vivas bought cars that needed repairs, fixed them and resold them, which may explain why he was working on the Sonata that day. The man who had been with him fled in Vivas’s Toyota Corolla; that car was later located abandoned at a nearby apartment complex. Homicide detectives are investigating and pursuing leads, but no suspect has been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers; a reward may be available for tips that lead to an arrest.
