Gordon Travis Garrett, a 26-year-old male, was fatally shot outside the Casa Fiesta Mexican Restaurant located at 1111 Bell Road. Earlier that evening, Garrett had been dining inside the establishment before the violent encounter that ended his life around 9:00 p.m.

The tragic event left behind a grieving family, including his parents, siblings, and two young daughters. His case is now considered a cold case by the Nashville authorities. No arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with Gordon Travis Garrett's murder.
