On the afternoon of Tuesday, August 29, 2023, 20-year-old Keonta M. Brown was shot at a Citgo gas station on Brick Church Pike in Nashville, Tennessee. Brown had been inside the convenience store with a friend when gunfire erupted around 3:45 p.m.; shots came from a vehicle that pulled into the parking lot and struck him. He was taken by private vehicle to Skyline Medical Center but died of his injuries.

Metro Nashville Police Department Homicide detectives say they believe Brown was specifically targeted rather than the victim of a random attack. Investigators were pursuing active leads but had not announced any arrests, and the individuals responsible remained at large. Crime Stoppers was asking anyone with information to come forward and may offer anonymity and a possible cash reward for tips that lead to an arrest.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, saw the vehicle involved, or has information about why Brown might have been targeted, please contact Crime Stoppers.
