On the evening of April 12, 2024, gunfire at The Cascades apartment complex in Antioch, Tennessee, left 23-year-old Vidal Tyrelle York dead. Metro Nashville Police Department officers found York in the parking lot around 9:30 p.m.; he was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and pronounced dead. A 19-year-old who had been with York suffered non-critical injuries and was treated and released.

Detectives initially said the motive was unknown and believed the shooter fled by vehicle. The Homicide and Specialized Investigation Division pursued leads. On October 7, 2024, 22-year-old Brian Connard Jr. was arrested after a vehicle he was riding in parked on Hermitage Avenue; officers found three guns inside the vehicle, one reported stolen. Connard was indicted on a charge of first-degree murder and a judge set bond at $100,000.

York, a Smyrna High School graduate, was remembered for his infectious smile, kindness, humility and for his athletic talents in swimming, football, basketball and track, along with an interest in music and fashion. Did anyone who knew Vidal or was in Antioch that night see or hear anything that could help investigators?
