On the evening of July 4, 2023, 27-year-old Christopher L. Harris was standing beside his car outside the Overlook Apartments on Buena Vista Pike in Nashville when a group of males approached and opened fire. About seven people reportedly fired as many as 100 rounds; at least one shooter was seen with a rifle. Harris was struck by multiple gunshots and was later found inside his vehicle. The assailants fled in three separate cars and the motive remains under investigation.

Detectives made a series of arrests over the following months: a 16-year-old, a 17-year-old, and a 23-year-old were arrested in early July, a fourth teen in September, and later arrests included a 27-year-old charged as an alleged getaway driver and a 22-year-old who had been on the department’s Top 10 list. The family has said they want those responsible held accountable.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information about the shooting or the vehicles involved, please share what you know.
