On the morning of September 10, 2023, 27-year-old Hykame Moncott Knowles was shot during an exchange of gunfire in the parking lot of the Somatel motel on Metroplex Drive in southern Nashville. Knowles, born October 22, 1995, in Miami, Florida, was hit in the hip area and was privately taken to St. Thomas Midtown Hospital, then transferred to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died after surgery later that day.

A maintenance and security worker at the motel sustained a graze wound to the neck but did not require treatment. Metropolitan Nashville Police detectives interviewed multiple people who were at the scene and reviewed surveillance footage. That footage reportedly showed a woman identified as Latoya Hedger firing a handgun at the vehicle Knowles was in; Hedger was arrested and charged with a felony in connection with the death.

What did anyone who was at the Somatel motel that night see or hear that could fill in the gaps about how the shooting began?
