Taurus Tremain Oglesby Jr., an 18-year-old male, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of Sunday, January 8, 2023, at a short-term rental townhome located at 738 Douglas Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee. Oglesby was present at the location to attend a birthday party. The festive gathering turned tragic when a robbery attempt escalated into gunfire.
During the incident, another teenager, 17-year-old Reginald Howard, was also critically wounded.
The investigation into the deadly shooting led authorities to identify three suspects. Andre Johnson, 19, was apprehended the night of the shooting at a residence on Creekwood Drive. He was subsequently charged with criminal homicide, attempted criminal homicide, and three counts of aggravated robbery and was jailed without bond. A second suspect, 17-year-old Quandre Beasley, was also implicated in the crime. Beasley sustained gunshot wounds to his jaw and neck during the incident and was taken into custody while seeking medical treatment. He faced arrest warrants for criminal homicide, attempted criminal homicide, and three counts of aggravated robbery.
A third individual, 24-year-old Keesean Campbell, was identified as a suspect in the days following the shooting. Warrants for criminal homicide and robbery were issued for his arrest. Campbell was subsequently taken into custody on these outstanding warrants. The investigation revealed that the suspects entered the short-term rental with the intent to rob the guests at gunpoint, a confrontation that ultimately resulted in the death of Taurus Oglesby.
