NASHVILLE, TN — Homicide Unit detectives are investigating Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. apparent drug-related shooting that fatally wounded three men outside the 2724 Old Elm Hill Pike residence of one of the victims, Gennaro Daniele.
Responding officers found Daniele, 29, and Jesus Torrero, 27, wounded in the parking lot. They were transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center where they died. According to witnesses, a gunman fired at Daniele and Torrero from behind the building during an apparent exchange of gunfire. The gunman fled in a newer model burgundy Chevrolet sedan bearing dealer tags. A short time later, a car matching that description, occupied by three young black men, attempted to drop off a gunshot victim, later identified as Quencharios Edmonds, 28, at Summit Medical Center. They sped away after being approached by hospital staff. Edmonds was later located deceased from multiple gunshot wounds inside his SUV parked on Enon Springs Road in Smyrna. A surveillance photo of the burgundy Chevrolet sedan is attached.
During the execution of a search warrant at 2724 Old Elm Hill Pike, detectives recovered seven pounds of marijuana, 500 ecstasy pills, a pistol, and $42,836 cash.
Anyone who sees the Chevrolet sedan or has information about the shooting is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
