On the evening of Wednesday, July 19, 2023, 18-year-old Luis Gerardo Arita-Vasquez was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the head near a picnic table on Berkley Drive in Madison, Tennessee. Emergency services pronounced him dead at the scene. Metro Nashville Police Department Homicide Unit detectives described the motive as unknown and asked the public for information from anyone who was in the vicinity that night.

Investigators later identified a juvenile, known by the initials E.S., as a person of interest in Arita-Vasquez’s death. That connection emerged during the probe into a separate August 8, 2023, shooting in which 18-year-old Arleth Bonilla was charged with facilitating criminal homicide; Bonilla was in a relationship with E.S. The exact nature of E.S.’s alleged involvement in Arita-Vasquez’s killing and the motive remain under investigation, and no arrest has been announced in direct connection with this murder.

If anyone was near the Berkley Drive apartment building on July 19, 2023, or has information about E.S. or other individuals seen that night, can you share what you know with investigators?
