Jeffery Montez Short, 20, was shot multiple times and killed on the night of January 29, 2012, in Nashville, Tennessee. Police found him at about 11:00 p.m. next to his silver Nissan in the parking area of Buena Vista Manor Apartments at 2400 Buena Vista Pike; the vehicle’s engine was still running. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries.

Investigators believe Short had gone to the complex to visit someone when an unknown person approached his car, opened fire, and fled. Detectives say there were likely witnesses at the complex who have not come forward. Known as Nino to his family, Short was a young father of two; his mother is Gloria Cox. The case is now handled by the Nashville Police Department’s Cold Case Homicide Unit and remains unsolved.

If anyone was at Buena Vista Manor Apartments that night or has information about who approached the car, please share what is known.
