In the summer of 2016, the life of 44-year-old Jason McGill was tragically cut short in Nashville, Tennessee. On June 29th, McGill was discovered deceased in his white Audi sedan, which was found backed into a parking space in a downtown lot on 6th Avenue South, near the Greyhound bus station. Initially, the scene was staged to appear as if McGill had taken his own life.
However, investigators with the Metro Nashville Police Department quickly determined that the evidence did not align with a suicide and began treating the case as a homicide.
An employee of a nearby business was the first to discover McGill, slumped over in his vehicle, and alerted the authorities. The subsequent investigation into the apparent murder led police to identify a suspect in the case.
In late September of the same year, law enforcement officials located and apprehended 29-year-old William Cochran in Memphis, Tennessee. Cochran was wanted by the Nashville Metro Police Department in connection with the shooting death of McGill. Following his arrest, Cochran was held in the Shelby County Jail before being transported to Nashville to face legal proceedings for his alleged role in the murder. The arrest brought a significant development to a case that had perplexed investigators for months, offering a path towards justice for Jason McGill and his family.
