William Rafael Silva was 18 when he was brought to Southern Hills Medical Center in the early hours of January 2, 2024, with multiple gunshot wounds. Two people in a black SUV left him at the hospital around 1 a.m.; medical staff were unable to save him and he died shortly after arrival. Homicide Unit detectives found that the shooting took place at the intersection of Tusculum Court and Ocala Drive and that the incident began as a robbery. Silva lived in South Nashville. The two people who brought him to the hospital left immediately after, and detectives continued investigating Nashville’s first murder of the year.

Who knew William, was in that neighborhood that night, or has information about the robbery and the black SUV?
