Tameka D. Vines, a 30-year-old single mother of two, was found fatally shot in her Nashville home on Magnolia Road in the early morning of Wednesday, November 7, 2007. Her young daughter discovered her at about 6:00 a.m.; the two children ran to a nearby relative’s house for help. Investigators believe the shooting occurred sometime between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. One daughter said she heard a loud thud that she first mistook for a cabinet closing in a dream.

Family described Vines as sweet, hardworking, active in her church, and newly relocated to Nashville from Chattanooga about a year earlier for a fresh start. The Nashville Police Department investigated and searched for a person of interest, but no name was released. The case remains unsolved and is being handled by the cold case unit.
