In the quiet moments just after midnight on Wednesday, July 18, 2018, Antonio Maurice Batts was sitting on a porch at 1603 16th Avenue North in Nashville, Tennessee. The 40-year-old man's life was abruptly cut short when he was shot multiple times in a sudden act of violence.
Despite his grave injuries, Batts managed to run to a neighboring house, where a call for help was made to 911.
He was quickly transported to a local hospital, but the severity of his wounds was too great, and he was pronounced deceased.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and as of now, the case remains an unsolved homicide. Authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with the death of Antonio Batts. The Nashville Police Department's Cold Case Homicide Unit continues to seek information from the public regarding the circumstances of his murder.
