Fausto Hernandez, 58, was fatally shot on the evening of July 15, 2016, while staying with his daughter in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. That night he was seen entering a neighborhood market on East Northfield Boulevard at about 9:01 p.m., then walking around the side of the building on a route he often took. Three juveniles last saw him at about 9:12 p.m., sitting on a rock behind a pizza shop and talking on his cell phone; his wife Carmen said she was on the phone with him until about 9:15 p.m.

Witnesses later heard gunfire. The same three juveniles discovered Hernandez on the ground around 9:32 p.m.; an adult ran for help and first responders found him slumped over a rock with a gunshot wound. He told them he had been shot by an African-American male but could give no further details. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and died there a short time later.

Murfreesboro Police have continued the investigation but the case has gone cold. A surveillance photo of a car seen near the scene has been released; authorities say the driver is not considered a suspect but may have information. No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced. If anyone knew Fausto, was in the shopping center that night, or has information about the vehicle, please contact the Murfreesboro Police Department.
