An arrest warrant charging criminal homicide has been issued against Juan Hernandez, 41, for this morning’s fatal shooting of his roommate, Jesus Camillo Perez, 33, inside their 2980 Mossdale Drive residence.
Officers responded to a neighbor’s house around 9:45 a.m. where Perez had run to for help after being shot. Perez said Hernandez shot him before he was transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center where he died. He had been struck in the abdomen.
Another roommate reported hearing a gunshot prior to Hernandez driving off in a gray Nissan Altima bearing Tennessee tag 6S91T2. Hernandez took the car from the residence without permission. The Altima has been reported stolen.
Hernandez received a three-year probated sentence in January for pointing a pistol at his four roommates during a July 2021 argument inside an Apollo Drive residence.
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Juan Hernandez or sees the stolen Nissan Altima is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
