On the evening of July 17, 2012, 28-year-old Shorish Faraj was shot and killed outside an apartment building at 200 Paragon Mills Road in Nashville. He and his girlfriend had just arrived and were at the door shortly after 9:00 p.m. when an unknown gunman approached from behind and opened fire. Both Faraj and his girlfriend were struck; Faraj sustained multiple gunshot wounds that proved fatal.

A witness reported seeing a Black man run from the scene and get into a silver Chevrolet Impala with tinted windows that then sped away. No arrests have been announced, the motive has not been made public, and the Nashville Police Department’s Cold Case Homicide Unit continues to seek tips.

If anyone remembers activity around Paragon Mills Road that night or has information about a silver Chevrolet Impala seen departing the complex, please contact investigators.
