NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Nashville Police officials asked for the public's help in identifying a man who raped a woman at gunpoint as she returned home to her apartment.
Police say on May 16, the victim parked her car at her apartment on Rosa Parks Boulevard around 3:15 a.m. As she was walking up a stairwell the man allegedly grabbed her from behind and told her he had a gun and would kill her.
