Thomas Roberts, 68, was found dead on the front porch of his Howard Avenue home in East Nashville in July 2023 with a single gunshot wound to the chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Roberts had a long career as a lighting technician in the music industry and spent about two decades working with country music artist Randy Travis, remembered by colleagues as a gentle giant with a warm presence.

Police say officers were called to the home Thomas shared with his wife, Christine Ann Roberts, 72. Christine admitted to shooting him and a pistol was recovered from the residence. She was arrested and charged with criminal homicide; bond was set at $100,000. The family attended the proceedings and described deep sorrow over his loss.

Does anyone have information about Thomas’s life in East Nashville or the night in July 2023 that could help clarify what happened?
