Allen Beachem, 33, was killed on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, during a busy brunch at Roasted, a restaurant in Nashville’s Salemtown neighborhood. Beachem died of his wounds and five other patrons suffered non-life-threatening injuries as the restaurant went into chaos.

Surveillance footage reportedly identified Rucker as the shooter. A search led police to a residence in Princeton, Kentucky, where he was arrested on a fugitive from justice warrant on April 2, 2024. Rucker, who has prior convictions including aggravated assault, was charged with criminal homicide; prosecutors indicated additional charges tied to the other victims are expected. Investigators say the two men did not appear to know each other and the dispute may have begun over something minor, such as personal space.

If anyone was at Roasted that day or has information about what triggered the confrontation, please share what was seen or heard.
