Domenique Harris was an 18-year-old male who was reported missing from Nashville, Tennessee, after he was last seen on November 9, 2025. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation described him as a Black male standing approximately 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing about 175 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. His case was entered into national law-enforcement records under NCIC number M798653342, and a missing-child poster was distributed to bring public attention to his disappearance.
Although Domenique had reached the age of 18, authorities continued to classify and publicize him through missing-child resources, reflecting how young he was when contact with him was lost. The publicly released notice did not explain where in Nashville he was last seen, what he was wearing, who may have last spoken with him, or what circumstances caused investigators to believe he was missing. That absence of detail left the public with only his identifying information, his photograph, and the date and city connected to his disappearance.
As the search information circulated, the official appeal remained direct and urgent. Authorities asked anyone who encountered Domenique to exercise caution and notify law enforcement rather than attempting to intervene personally. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Missing Persons Clearinghouse, which supports local, state, and national efforts to locate missing people in Tennessee, provided a central avenue for tips through 1-800-TBI-FIND. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department also accepts information concerning missing-person cases through its main reporting number. Publicly available records do not provide a detailed chronology of the investigative steps taken after November 9, such as searches, interviews, possible sightings, telephone or social-media activity, or locations examined by detectives. There is likewise no reliable public account explaining why Domenique disappeared or describing his movements during the period after he was last seen. Those unanswered questions formed the painful center of the case: a young man had vanished from Nashville, while the people who knew and cared about him were left without a publicly documented explanation of where he had gone or what had happened to him.
The case later reached a tragic conclusion. Official Metro Nashville Police reporting identified 18-year-old Domenique Harris as the young man found outside a vacant apartment that was being renovated at an apartment complex along Highway 70 South in Nashville’s Bellevue area. Officers found him on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, and he died at the scene. Investigators characterized the shooting as targeted, though authorities did not publicly disclose a motive or provide a complete account of the events that brought Domenique to the apartment complex. His death meant that the search for him no longer ended with the hoped-for reunion that missing-person appeals are intended to achieve. Instead, the young man whose name and description had been shared in an effort to locate him was found deceased, transforming a case of uncertainty into one of profound loss.
Investigators continued working after Domenique was located, and police later announced that two teenagers, ages 16 and 15, had been taken into custody and charged with criminal homicide in connection with his death. Authorities reported that both teenagers admitted involvement, but the available public reports do not explain the nature of their relationship with Domenique, the reason he was allegedly targeted, or the sequence of events leading to the shooting. The criminal charges represent allegations that must be resolved through the judicial process, and the limited information released leaves important questions unanswered for Domenique’s loved ones and the wider Nashville community. Domenique’s story began publicly as the disappearance of an 18-year-old man last seen in Nashville on November 9, 2025, continued through an appeal asking the public to help locate him, and ended with official reports that he had been found deceased and that two juvenile suspects had been charged in connection with his death. In overview, the case is the heartbreaking account of a young person whose unexplained absence prompted a search, whose fate was later discovered under violent circumstances, and whose brief life now remains at the center of an ongoing pursuit of accountability and understanding.Last Seen: Nov 9, 2025
