Deshawn Lamar Talley was 21 when he was shot and killed on the evening of May 12, 2023, in Nashville’s Edgehill neighborhood. Officers responding to 911 calls near Edgehill Avenue and 14th Avenue South at about 8 p.m. found Talley on a residence’s back porch; he was declared deceased at the scene. Witnesses said some people initially thought the gunfire sounded like fireworks.

Investigators developed a theory that Talley may not have been the intended target, with shots reported as coming from the direction of 14th Avenue South. Detectives identified a black Nissan Armada as the suspect vehicle and released surveillance images of the SUV to the public. A cash reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified; the Metro Nashville Police Department continues to ask anyone with information about the black Nissan Armada or the shooting to come forward. Does anyone have sighting details or tips about that vehicle on May 12, 2023?
