Kelvin Stowers Jr., 26, was found fatally shot on a street in South Nashville in the early morning of September 23, 2023. Officers located him around 5:20 a.m. in the 3900 block of Keeley Drive; investigators say he was shot while inside a Nissan Rogue, then pushed from the vehicle and left on the roadway as the driver fled.

Stowers, a Black man and a new father, was remembered by family as respectful, humble and a talented multi-sport athlete who was not involved in street life. Tips to Crime Stoppers and investigative work by Metro Nashville Police led detectives to identify 28-year-old David Samuel Henry of Murfreesboro as the primary suspect and to issue an alert for a Nissan Rogue matching the vehicle involved.

A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper later stopped that vehicle in Jefferson County, East Tennessee, and took Henry into custody without incident; an arrest warrant charging him with criminal homicide was sworn out and he was to be returned to Nashville to face charges. Does anyone who knew Kelvin or who was in South Nashville that morning have information that could help investigators?
