Cesar Lopez-Flores, a 30-year-old Murfreesboro restaurant owner and native of Mexico, was fatally shot on December 16, 2016, at his home on Indian Park Drive. He was survived by his wife, Cindy Lopez, and their three daughters and was described as a loving father and devoted husband.

Authorities say the events began earlier that evening in Bedford County, where a woman was reportedly kidnapped, assaulted and forced to drive her captors to Lopez-Flores’s residence. Several suspects allegedly forced their way into the home and shot Lopez-Flores; the kidnapped woman was left at the scene and was present when police arrived. Lopez-Flores was later pronounced dead at St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital.

The Murfreesboro Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit served an arrest warrant on Danny Holmes Jr. and executed a search warrant at his West Main Street apartment. Holmes was charged in state court with first-degree murder and multiple related offenses, including especially aggravated robbery, especially aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary and criminal impersonation of law enforcement.

Did anyone in Murfreesboro have information about Lopez-Flores, his restaurant, or the night of December 16, 2016?
