Leondra Ridley was 37 when he was fatally shot on the evening of Wednesday, November 1, 2017, in the front yard of his home on Goolawn Drive in Nashville. He was a father of five and survived by his fiancée, Stannisha Battle.

In the months after the killing the family received community support, including a Christmas gift drive organized by a stranger, Floyd Miley, to help the children through their first holiday without their father. News reports as late as December 2017 said no arrests had been made; the motive for the shooting remains unclear and the investigation has gone cold.

Anyone who knew Leondra, was in the Goolawn Drive area that evening, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
