Late on an August evening in 2023 on Peach Creek Crescent in Nashville, Jose Fernando Rivera Garcia, 35, called 911 to report he had been shot by three men who were attempting to rob him. Officers found him in the driver’s seat of a gray Ford Escape with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.

Homicide Unit detectives, using ballistic analysis, later identified 19-year-old Jamonte Wellington as a suspect in Rivera Garcia’s killing. Wellington was arrested on August 23, 2023, while already under investigation in an unrelated July fatal shooting; during an interview he implicated himself in Rivera Garcia’s murder and was charged with two counts of criminal homicide. The investigation indicates Rivera Garcia was killed during an attempted robbery.

If anyone has information about what happened on Peach Creek Crescent that night or knew Rivera Garcia, please share what you know.
