In the early morning of Friday, November 13, 2015, a resident on Woodale Lane in Nashville called police about a vehicle blocking a driveway. Responding officers found 28-year-old Charles ’C-Jay’ Childs Jr. inside the car; he had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene. The death was classified a homicide and the Metro Nashville Police Department opened an investigation.

Childs was a husband and father, and his death left family and friends mourning. The circumstances leading to the shooting were not made clear in initial reports, and no motive, suspects, or arrests have been publicly released. The case is now listed among Nashville’s cold cases and remains an open investigation.

If anyone has information about Charles Childs Jr. or the November 13, 2015 shooting, please come forward to help bring answers for his family.
