Jason Earl Thomas, a 32-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in a Nashville parking lot on June 12, 2012. He was found in the late hours that Tuesday near the driver’s side of his red 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix at 2610 Jefferson Street, having been shot multiple times. Investigators determined the shots came from the passenger side while Thomas was seated in the driver’s seat.

A witness described seeing a Black male in a white t-shirt standing at the passenger side of the Grand Prix just before the shooting; that person is the only publicly described person of interest. No arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved. Few other public details are available about the circumstances leading up to the shooting.

If anyone has information about that night, the vehicle, or the person seen at the passenger side, please contact the Nashville Police Department.
