In a wooded area of North Nashville, the discovery of a man's body on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, launched a homicide investigation. A person passing by the woods near the intersection of Doverside Drive and Oakview Drive found the deceased individual and alerted the authorities. The man, later identified as 27-year-old Trevett Cole Rash, a resident of Nashville, had been fatally shot.
When he was found, Rash had no identification on him, and investigators believe he may have been deceased
for several days before his discovery. The Davidson County Medical Examiner's Office was able to confirm his identity. The Metro Nashville Police Department's Homicide Unit is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.
Authorities have noted the presence of encampments for unhoused individuals in the wider vicinity, but none were in the immediate area where Trevett Cole Rash's body was located. At this time, investigators have not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with the shooting. The investigation remains ongoing, and the police are urging anyone with information regarding the murder of Trevett Cole Rash to come forward. A cash reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.
