Dominique Bonds, 34, was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his legs in a North Nashville alley in the early morning of December 19, 2023. He made it to a nearby apartment and knocked for help before collapsing; he was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and later pronounced dead. The shooting occurred in the 1800 block of 15th Avenue North at about 2:20 a.m.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department identified 31-year-old Rico Hall as a primary suspect. An arrest warrant charging Hall with criminal homicide was issued in the days after Bonds’ death. Hall was located and taken into custody by the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force on March 6, 2024, on the outstanding homicide warrant and jailed on a $110,000 bond. Motive and the precise circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation.
