Nearly seven years after the murder of Nashvillian George David Huddleston, who was fatally shot during a robbery attempt as he sat in a car with his wife behind their Cato Road home, three men—all incarcerated—are now under indictment in the case.
Investigation by Cold Case Detective Curtis Hafley led to the identification of Antonio Martin, 31, Isaiah Berkley, 25, and Jemario Askew, 33, as suspects. They are charged with 1st degree murder.
Martin is presently serving time at a federal prison in South Carolina for a firearms conviction; Berkley is presently serving time at Tennessee’s Bledsoe County Correctional Complex for a 2nd degree murder conviction related to an August 2015 fatal shooting on Oakwood Avenue; Askew is jailed in Nashville awaiting trial for a 2018 murder at a Ben Allen Road apartment complex.
Huddleston, 40, and his wife were sitting in the car in the early morning hours of January 17, 2015, when, according to the wife, a masked gunman approached and demanded their belongings. Shots were fired and Huddleston was fatally wounded. All three defendants are alleged to have been on the Huddleston’s property that night.
Martin, Berkley and Askew will be arraigned in Davidson County Criminal Court in the near future after Martin and Berkley are returned to Nashville.
