NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police say Tariq Anderson, 22, of Nashville, was the man killed earlier this week in a domestic-related shooting inside a home in the 3700 block of Hydes Ferry Road.
According to Metro Nashville Police Department, detectives are seeking a 39-year-old man for questioning.
Police said the woman who lives at the home told officers her current boyfriend, the 39-year-old, was visiting when Anderson, her former boyfriend, showed up and began knocking on the front door and a bedroom window for an extended period.
She said she went to the front door and started to step outside when Anderson pushed past her and forced his way into the home. According to police, Anderson then moved toward the 39-year-old man, and the woman told investigators she heard gunshots moments later.
The 39-year-old man left the scene. Anderson was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he later died.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
