Lubunga Lumenge, a 30-year-old pastor and worship leader originally from the Congo, was found shot to death on January 5, 2023, in the grass just outside his apartment at the Residences at Stonebrook in Nashville, Tennessee. He and his family had fled conflict in Congo, spent time in Tanzania, and later settled in the United States; he was remembered as a man of faith, kindness, and community service.

Residents reported hearing a single gunshot in the predawn hours, and a passerby discovered his body several hours later. The motive remains unknown and no arrests have been announced; the Nashville Metro Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Lubunga, his family, or saw anything near the apartment complex before dawn on January 5, please share what you know with investigators.
