RUTHERFORD CO., Tenn. (WTVF) — Investigators are asking for the community's help after 22-year-old Noah Taylor was shot and killed while driving on I-24 Saturday morning. Taylor was found dead in his car near Waldron Road around 7:30 a.m. Police believe he was shot while traveling toward Nashville.
According to the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, Taylor had just celebrated his birthday in June. His family said he had his whole life ahead of him, making this violent and sudden loss even more devastating.

A GoFundMe was also created to support funeral expenses for Taylor's family.

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
