On the night of October 11, 2024, 29-year-old Franklin Bautista-Ayala and 37-year-old Luis Gonzalez-Barajas were fatally shot outside a home on Vultee Boulevard in Nashville after arriving in a white Acura sedan just after 11:30 p.m. An argument across the yard preceded the shooting, and police say the man sitting on the front porch opened fire. Both victims were killed at the scene.

Authorities identified 41-year-old Jose Cerros-Lopez as the suspect and say he fired at the two men with two pistols; both firearms were recovered at the scene. Officers briefly encountered a man believed to be Cerros-Lopez trying to leave in a pickup truck before he abandoned the vehicle and fled toward the house. After a several-hour standoff, a man and woman exited the home and confirmed Jose lived there; investigators believe he then left the property on foot.

In the months after the killings, 25-year-old Maria Doris Urbina-Escalante, described as the suspected shooter’s girlfriend, was arrested on a false reporting charge. She initially told detectives she had been asleep but later said she was awake and outside, and her revised statement implicated Jose Cerros-Lopez. Warrants have been issued for Cerros-Lopez on two counts of criminal homicide; police are asking the public for information about his whereabouts.

Did anyone see the white Acura or the pickup truck on Vultee Boulevard that night, or have information about Cerros-Lopez’s whereabouts?
