Shortly after 2 a.m. on April 23, 2023, gunfire broke out inside Trap Up Studio, a hookah bar and lounge on Hill Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee. Twenty-six-year-old Tarrell Grant was critically wounded in the shooting and taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died of his injuries. A 27-year-old DJ at the lounge, David Bickham, was also shot and pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers found one firearm inside the lounge. Homicide detectives initially considered whether an isolated altercation between Grant and Bickham inside the establishment led to the violence. In the days after the shooting, Metro Nashville Police had not taken anyone into custody and appealed for witnesses who left before officers arrived to come forward.

If anyone was at Trap Up Studio that night or has information about what happened inside the lounge, please share what is known with investigators.
