Anthoney Barksdale, 19, was killed in a targeted shooting at an apartment complex on Oakwell Farms Lane in Hermitage, Tennessee. On November 19, 2023, a gunman opened fire as Barksdale arrived at one of the buildings, chased him to the front door and continued shooting as he tried to escape. Responding officers found him in a bedroom with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A 35-year-old woman was also wounded but later released from the hospital.

A neighbor’s Ring doorbell camera captured the masked shooter, and Metro Nashville Police Detective Kevin Guyton led the investigation. Authorities identified 27-year-old Nakelvious Featherston as the primary suspect. Featherston, a convicted felon who was on probation at the time and had prior convictions for aggravated burglary, facilitating attempted aggravated robbery and evading arrest, was arrested on May 29, 2024, by detectives from the Specialized Investigations Division TITANS unit. A grand jury has indicted him on first-degree murder; he is being held at the Davidson County Downtown Detention Center and the case remains pending.

If anyone knew Anthoney, was at the complex that morning, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
