Steven Ross Yates, 34, was shot and killed outside his workplace on Old Franklin Road in Antioch during a February evening. He was found in the parking lot of a candle manufacturing company with a gunshot wound; investigators describe the incident as a targeted event connected to a drug-related robbery. Yates was a resident of Mt. Juliet.

Detectives say two people were identified in connection with the killing. A 37-year-old woman, Nicole Tishma, was located at a motel in Oak Grove, Kentucky, and arrested on a probation violation warrant; she has been charged with criminal homicide and is being held in Kentucky pending extradition to Nashville. The second suspect, 31-year-old Patrick G. Cathey, was found and arrested in Coopertown, Robertson County, and booked on a criminal homicide charge. Reports indicate Yates went to the parking lot to meet both Cathey and Tishma when the robbery and shooting occurred.

If anyone has information about Yates, his movements that evening, or the meeting in the parking lot, please share what you know.
