Juan Marquez, 35, was shot and killed just outside his apartment door at the Sudekum Apartments on Charles E. Davis Boulevard in Nashville on April 8, 2023. He was found at about 11:45 p.m. with multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Marquez worked as a bricklayer and had emigrated to the United States at age 15; his family and the local community were left reeling, and community organizations offered support to his widow, Melody, and their relatives.

Metro Nashville Police Department homicide detectives initially had no identified suspect and appealed to the public for information. The case remained under active investigation for months until a suspect was later located. Has anyone in the Nashville area seen or heard anything that could help bring clarity to what happened that night?
