On the evening of February 20, 2023, a verbal dispute in the parking lot of an auto care business on Clarksville Pike in Nashville escalated to gunfire. Keviana Perry, 28, was struck in the chest and died at the scene; the shooting occurred around 7:30 p.m. A man reportedly exited a small silver sedan and fired in the direction of Perry and another man who was inside a black SUV. After the shooting, those involved and several witnesses fled before law enforcement arrived.

Investigators initially did not know whether Perry was the intended target and described the motive as under investigation. Homicide Detective Arthur Hipp led the inquiry, which identified 33-year-old Johnny Chandler as a suspect. A grand jury returned an indictment charging Chandler with first-degree murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and gun possession during the commission of a felony, and Specialized Investigations detectives later took him into custody.

If anyone was present at the Clarksville Pike auto care parking lot that night or has information that could help clarify what led to this shooting, please share what is known.
