Fredy Adelso Batz Che, 31, was shot while fishing with family and friends near the Old Hickory Lake beach access on Burnett Road in Nashville on July 1, 2023. Witnesses heard a gunshot and found Batz Che with a wound to the back of his neck; he was taken to Skyline Medical Center and died a few days later. Metro Nashville Police Homicide Unit investigated and asked to speak with the driver of a silver Hyundai Sonata seen nearby, believing that person might have information. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been reported.

Batz Che was originally from Alta Verapaz Coban, Guatemala, and lived in Nashville with his brother, working as a self-employed construction worker. He is survived by his mother, Vicenta Che, and his brother, Raymundo Batz Che. A visitation was held at Ellis Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Nashville before his body was sent back to Guatemala for final services and burial.
