Alex Holcomb Jr. was 30 when he was shot and killed in North Nashville on the evening of Monday, July 31, 2017. The shooting occurred around 7:15 p.m. near 17th Avenue North and Buchanan Street. Investigators said the attack was not random and believed Holcomb was the intended target.

Witnesses reported seeing a car flee after the gunshots, and a vehicle of interest was later found abandoned a short distance away, but the gunman escaped. In the days after the killing, investigators continued their work but released few additional details; as of late 2017 no arrests had been announced and the case remained unsolved.

If anyone remembers seeing activity in the 17th Avenue North and Buchanan Street area that evening or has information that could help Alex’s family, please share what is known.
