4-year-old girl dies after car is shot in targeted shooting, Nashville police say
Nashville police are investigating what they believe to be a targeted shooting that turned fatal for a 4-year-old girl.
Tuesday around 7:50 p.m., police said two men exited a car next to a Chevrolet Malibu at a red light and opened fire at the intersection of Dickerson Pike and Douglas Avenue.
Police said Taliyah Frazier, 4, was a passenger in the vehicle and was shot in the head. Police said there were 2-year-old male twins in the vehicle. One of the twins suffered a grazing wound to his head; the other was uninjured.
The driver of the Malibu, the father of the twins, left the scene as shots rang out, driving to a store three miles away where the mother of the children works.
Anyone with information on the persons responsible is asked to contact Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
