NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Detectives with the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) have asked for help from the public to identify a driver allegedly involved in a shooting along Interstate 40 earlier this month.
The shooting happened around 2 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 12, near the Fesslers Lane exit of Interstate 40; the MNPD said shots were fired at Uriel Miller, 26, from the owner or driver of a Honda Odyssey minivan.
The MNPD released images of the minivan Tuesday, adding it appears to be silver and is believed to be around a 2015 model. Video from the dashboard camera of a truck driver showed the vehicle followed Miller's Crown Victoria sedan before abruptly changing lanes and pulling up alongside Miller's passenger side.
Detectives believe that's when shots were fired. Miller, a Rutherford County resident, died at the scene after his sedan came to a rest along the retaining wall between east and westbound lanes.
Anyone with information about the vehicle in the above images has been asked to contact Nashville Crime Stoppers at (615) 742-7463. You can remain anonymous and you may qualify for a cash reward of up to $5,000.
