Detectives are asking for the community’s assistance in identifying the female driver of a silver minivan, potentially a Chrysler Pacifica, who wounded a 12-year-old girl during a road rage shooting Saturday afternoon at the intersection of Clarksville and Buena Vista Pikes.
The victim was a passenger in a Cadillac Escalade SUV being driven by her father. He was driving on Clarksville Pike and attempted to merge into the left lane when the minivan accelerated into that lane, blocking him. The two drivers exchanged profanities out of their windows as they proceeded north on Clarksville Pike toward Buena Vista Pike. When the traffic signal at the intersection turned green, the victim’s father reported the minivan did not move, prompting him to drive around it and turn left. At that moment, he reported hearing two to three gunshots. His daughter, in a rear seat, suffered a non-critical wound to her bottom.
The driver of the minivan is described as a heavyset black woman who was wearing a white sports bra.
The family in the Escalade was visiting Nashville from Memphis and was heading to their short-term rental when the shooting occurred.
A surveillance camera at the intersection captured a partial image of the minivan with the Escalade behind it. Detectives are checking other businesses for additional surveillance pictures.
Anyone knowing the location of the minivan and/or the woman driving it is asked to contact Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
