On the morning of May 26, 2017, 31-year-old Kurdish woman Vian Ahmed Kasim was found fatally shot inside her white Kia Soul, parked at the Swiss Ridge Apartments on Swiss Avenue in Nashville. The apartment complex was not her residence. Her car was taken to the crime laboratory while Metro Police worked to reconstruct her final hours and establish why she had been at that location.

Despite those efforts, the investigation eventually grew cold. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests were announced; the case remains open and is now treated as a cold case. Anyone with information about Kasim’s movements that day, who might have seen her car at Swiss Ridge, or who knows why she might have been at that complex is asked to come forward.
