Ricky Vincent Hanlon, a 50-year-old Caucasian man from Smyrna, Tennessee, was shot multiple times and killed at a residence at 3219 Torbett Avenue in Nashville on the evening of Thursday, July 31, 2008. A friend who had been at the house earlier left to give another man a ride and, upon returning, discovered Hanlon deceased. Hanlon was originally from Chicago and owned a business called Rick Hanlon Concrete.

The motive for the shooting and the identity of the person or persons responsible remain unknown. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open. If anyone has information about what happened that night, law enforcement asks that they come forward to help bring closure to Hanlon’s family and friends.
