Reward increases to $26,000 for Veterans Parkway shooting in April

Rewards increased to $26,000 for information about the person who shot a Murfreesboro business woman driving her Tesla April 23 on Veterans Parkway, a Rutherford County Sheriff’s detective said.

She remains bedridden while recovering from her critical injuries, said Detective Jamin Humphress.

“The victim and the family desperately want justice and prosecution of the person who shot her and critically injured her,” Humphress said.

She was driving about 11:15 a.m. near Kingdom Drive between Franklin Road and New Salem Highway when someone fired into her car. Detectives believe she was shot by another driver.

“We do not believe this to be an incident of road rage,” Humphress said.

Occupants of a white truck may have crucial details about the shooting.

“We believe this vehicle may have been in the immediate area at the time of the shooting and we would greatly like to identify the occupants and talk with them about what they may have seen,” Humphress said.

Detectives do not have any leads at this time. They are asking people to notify them of any information that might be related to the shooting.

Callers may also leave a message for Humphress at 615-904-3054 or send anonymous tips at http://www.rcsotn.com/, locate the contact link and click on “submit a tip.”

Crime Stoppers added another $1,000 to the reward. People who have information may call Crime Stoppers between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday at 615-893-STOP.
