On the night of Friday, August 21, 2026, 16-year-old Cameron Frierson was shot and killed while walking home in North Nashville. A junior at Hunters Lane High School, Cameron had spent the evening with his younger brother at a football game at Pearl-Cohn High School. As they passed Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church on Herman Street near 25th Avenue North, a white sedan with tinted windows pulled up and an occupant opened fire around 10:30 p.m. Cameron was struck multiple times and later died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center; his younger brother was unhurt.

Family members describe Cameron as an upstanding student who worked two jobs over the summer, enjoyed fashion, and spent time with his brother. They said they do not believe Cameron knew anyone in the car and called the attack unprovoked. The Metro Nashville Police Department is investigating; no arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers for anonymous tips.

Did anyone in the area that night see the white sedan or anything that might help investigators?
