Alvester Merriweather, 53, was found dead in a parking lot at 5 Lafayette Street in Nashville on the morning of Friday, June 16, 2017. Passers-by discovered his body shortly before 8 a.m.; the scene indicated he had been severely beaten. An autopsy concluded he died of multiple blunt force injuries.

Investigators say Merriweather, who was experiencing homelessness, was last seen alive between 2 and 3 a.m. that same morning. It is believed the fatal assault occurred between about 2:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. He had been employed through a temporary agency located on Lafayette Street, near where his body was found.

The investigation has gone cold and no suspects have been publicly identified or arrested. The Nashville Police Department’s Cold Case Homicide Unit is still seeking information that could lead to answers. Did anyone in the area that night see something that could help solve this killing?
