LaToria Nevels-Mitchell, 27, was shot and killed outside her East Nashville apartment on the night of July 14, 2023. Earlier that evening she had an altercation with her boyfriend, 27-year-old Lewis Thomas II, at a nightclub; he was escorted out after reportedly pushing her. The disagreement resumed later at her home in the 500 block of South 6th Street and continued outside, where Thomas allegedly shot Nevels-Mitchell multiple times and kept firing after she had fallen.

Authorities located Lewis Thomas II soon after on James Robertson Parkway; during questioning he implicated himself, said he had disposed of the pistol in a wooded area, and was arrested on charges of criminal homicide and evidence tampering. He was held without bond.

Nevels-Mitchell was a mother to a 5-year-old son and a player on the Tennessee Trojans Women’s Football Team, remembered by teammates and family as the heart of the team and a person who loved life. If anyone has information about that night or knew LaToria, what can be shared with investigators?
