Homicide Unit detectives and the family of Miles Slay continue to ask the community for information on the SUV from which shots were fired at 10:40 p.m. last Friday night that fatally wounded Slay, 24, on the sidewalk at the corner of 40th Avenue North and Charlotte Pike.
The SUV being sought is a 2010 to 2014 light colored beige, tan or gold GMC Denali. The passenger side brake light on the vehicle was not working Friday night. A person in the rear passenger seat of the vehicle fired more than a dozen rounds at Slay just after the SUV passed him. The motive for the gunfire has not been determined. Detectives have not learned of anything in Slay’s background or recent interactions that would have been related to the shooting.
After Slay was hit, a person across the street ran to him and rendered aid until an ambulance arrived. Slay died shortly after arriving at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Anyone with information about the GMC Denali and/or the persons inside it is asked to contact Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463 at any time, day or night. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
