NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The third and final suspect has been taken into custody in the July 26, 2024, fatal shooting of 17-year-old Caleb Womack.
Police said Joshuajaniel Oliva-Martinez, now 19, was 17 at the time of the homicide. He is charged in Juvenile Court with criminal homicide.
Womack was shot just before 1 a.m. inside a duplex on Bryan Street. Officers responding to a shots-fired call found him lying in the living room. He was rushed to Skyline Medical Center, where he later died.
Investigators said the shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute between Womack and the suspects. Authorities previously said shots were fired into the duplex from the roadway.
Two other teens — Kevin Crumpler and Johnathan Castellano — were arrested in October 2024. Both were 17 at the time of the shooting and were later convicted in adult court of voluntary manslaughter.
With Oliva-Martinez now in custody, police say all suspects connected to Womack’s killing have been arrested.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
