On July 4, 2023, 16-year-old Etabo Malanda was shot while standing on the porch of an apartment at the Fallbrook Apartments on Dellway Villa Road in Nashville. Two armed individuals approached; a confrontation followed and Malanda tried to draw a pistol from his hoodie but was shot before he could do so. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators linked the shooting to an ongoing dispute and recovered four firearms from the apartment, including the pistol Malanda had been carrying, which was later reported stolen. Authorities identified two suspects: 17-year-old Jaylin Brown and 21-year-old Raceme L. Crutcher. Brown was arrested August 31, 2023, after being found in a stolen vehicle and was charged in juvenile court with criminal homicide, juvenile handgun possession, vehicle theft and evading arrest. Crutcher was later added to Nashville’s Top 10 Most Wanted list and was apprehended by U.S. Marshals; he was charged with criminal homicide and held on a $250,000 bond.

Does anyone have information about Malanda’s last known movements or the dispute that led to this shooting?
