On a Thursday evening, November 16, 2017, a Nashville man named Robert Newsom, at the age of 39, had just returned to his home on Bridgepoint Drive after picking up a pizza for his family. As he arrived at his residence at approximately 7:00 pm, he was confronted in the street and tragically shot multiple times. Responding officers found him with gunshot wounds to his leg and stomach.
Despite the immediate response, Newsom succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation into the death of the male victim has remained an ongoing effort for the Nashville Police Department. In the days and years following the incident, both law enforcement and Newsom's family have struggled with the lack of answers. His wife, Sharia Newsom, has spoken publicly about the immense pain and loss her family, including their daughter, has endured. She has described her husband as a loving family man and has expressed her hope that someone will come forward with information that could lead to a breakthrough in the case.
To date, the murder of Robert Newsom is considered a cold case. Investigators have yet to publicly identify any suspects, and no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and authorities continue to appeal to the public for any information that might shed light on the circumstances of that fatal evening and bring those responsible to justice.
