On the evening of November 6, 2023, a dispute outside a 7-Eleven on Brick Church Pike in Nashville turned deadly for 40-year-old Joshua B. Westmoreland. Surveillance footage shows a physical altercation between Westmoreland and 52-year-old Reginald Ewin; the encounter escalated when Ewin produced a pistol from his waistband and opened fire. Westmoreland attempted to flee but was struck multiple times and collapsed. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his wounds.

After the shooting, Ewin was captured on video getting into a nearby dump truck and driving south on Brick Church Pike, and was later linked to a hit-and-run on County Hospital Road. Officers traced the truck to a Thorntons on Charlotte Pike and arrested Ewin; his clothing at the time matched the surveillance description. Ewin was charged with criminal homicide and possession of a handgun by a felon and held without bond. Westmoreland had been listed on Nashville’s Top 10 Most Wanted for two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and for being a felon in possession of a weapon prior to his death.

Did anyone witness the fight outside the 7-Eleven or see the dump truck after it left Brick Church Pike?
