NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man wanted for a 2023 murder in Nashville was arrested Monday night after police chased him through a neighborhood.
Police arrested Kealin Hicks, 27, for a first-degree murder indictment in the death of Diandre Starks, where he was shot and killed on the Rosa L. Parks Boulevard interstate ramp.
In trying to arrest Hicks, police went on a chase through an Antioch neighborhood where Hicks drove through people's yards. Police eventually had to deploy spike strips to slow down Hicks. Ring doorbell cameras submitted to NewsChannel 5 showed Hicks' red Infinity sedan zipping through the neighborhood as he was being chased.
Hicks was finally arrested at an Aldi in the area.
Police said the Infinity was a stolen vehicle and that Hicks had two guns and key fobs with him upon his arrest.
In addition to the murder charge, authorities also charged Hicks with two counts of attempted first-degree murder. Police said when he allegedly shot at Starks, Hicks also allegedly shot at Jeep Cherokee containing two people. Their vehicle crashed on the entrance ramp during the shooting, but they were not injured.
His bond is set at $250,000.

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
