Robert Anthony Wade was 42 when he was found dead on August 13, 2023, after shots were reported at a residence on Pigeon Roost Creek Road south of Cookeville, Tennessee. Officers responding just before 3 p.m. discovered a vehicle that had left the road and come to rest in a nearby field; Wade was in the driver’s seat with injuries described by investigators as consistent with an apparent gunshot wound.

Police processed both the home where shots were reported and the field crash site, interviewed those believed to have been involved or present, and said they considered the shooting an isolated incident while asking the public for tips through the Criminal Investigation Division. Wade’s obituary notes he was born in Lebanon, Tennessee, on July 4, 1981, and later lived in Cookeville; online memorials list him among local victims of gun violence.

Does anyone have information about that afternoon on Pigeon Roost Creek Road or know someone who was there?
