Alcapone Branch, 27, was shot and killed inside an apartment at the Sudekum Apartments on University Court in Nashville on the night of April 11, 2024. The shooting occurred around 11:45 p.m.; Branch was pronounced dead at the scene after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head.

Officers located 31-year-old Joshua E. Coffee in a nearby apartment and took him into custody. A nine-millimeter handgun believed to be the weapon was found on a couch where Coffee had been lying. Coffee reportedly admitted to an argument with Branch just before the shooting and was charged with criminal homicide and being a felon in possession of a weapon; he was already out on bond from a March 28 arrest and had outstanding federal gun warrants.

If anyone saw Branch or events at the Sudekum Apartments that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
