In the autumn of 2020, a Sunday afternoon in Nashville turned deadly for Travis L. Person. The 35-year-old man had just left an apartment on Scovel Street when his life was abruptly ended. He was suddenly approached by two gunmen, their faces obscured by masks. One of the assailants opened fire, fatally wounding Person.
Following the shooting, the two masked individuals fled the scene, taking Person's Nissan Maxima as their getaway vehicle.
Their attempt to cover their tracks was evident when the stolen car was later discovered abandoned on Knight Road. The vehicle had been intentionally set ablaze, leaving behind a charred shell.
In the days following the murder, homicide detectives began their investigation and sought help from the community. They released a surveillance photograph of a man they believed had crucial information regarding the fatal shooting and asked for the public's assistance in identifying him. Authorities urged anyone who recognized the individual to contact Crime Stoppers, offering the possibility of a cash reward for information. The investigation into the death of Travis L. Person was being led by Detective Derry Baltimore. There have been no publicly available updates regarding any arrests or suspects in this case.
