De’Angelo Black, 20, was shot and killed on Interstate 24 on December 8, 2024. He was a passenger in a Saturn Ion when a different vehicle that had earlier interacted with the Saturn at a North Nashville gas station began following them onto the interstate. Shortly after the Saturn merged onto I-24 West from I-40 near the Silliman Evans Bridge, shots were fired from the pursuing car. Black, seated in the back, was the only person struck. The driver exited at Shelby Avenue and flagged down a nearby officer. Black was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died.

Metro Nashville Police Homicide Unit detectives located a suspected vehicle unoccupied at an apartment complex in North Nashville and are investigating. No arrests have been announced. Black’s family says he was a cheerful person who loved to joke and play basketball and that he leaves behind a seven-month-old daughter.
