In the Bordeaux neighborhood of Nashville, a Sunday afternoon was shattered by gunfire on May 9, 2021, leaving one man dead and another wounded at a home on Dolan Road. The deceased was identified as Larry Parker, a 66-year-old male, whose identity was confirmed through his fingerprints. The shooting took place at 1473 Dolan Road, where Parker was found inside the residence, having succumbed to gunshot wounds that authorities believe were fired from outside the house.
At the time of the
incident, another older man was reportedly in the house with Parker, but he fled the scene before police could arrive and has not been identified. In a separate but connected event, a 31-year-old man arrived at a local hospital by private vehicle with a gunshot wound to his back. He told detectives that he was outside the Dolan Road residence when he was shot. According to his statement, he was in the area scouting locations for a music video. He was treated for his injuries and subsequently released.
Homicide detectives with the Metro Nashville Police Department are leading the investigation into the fatal shooting. While the motive for the shooting remains under investigation, authorities have indicated that they are exploring the possibility that the incident was drug-related. As of the initial reports, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been announced in connection with the murder of Larry Parker. The police have appealed to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case, encouraging witnesses or those with knowledge of the shooting to contact Crime Stoppers.
