As the investigation into the September 1 fatal shooting of Francisco Anx intensifies, Nashville police have circulated images and are seeking information about a man wanted for questioning in connection with the robbery-related homicide that claimed Anx's life at 1019 Patricia Drive.
According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, the incident involved Anx and his friend, who were confronted by four male suspects outside an apartment. The situation escalated when the suspects demanded their belongings. After Anx resisted, one of the assailants shot him in the stomach. They then shoved the second victim to the ground, threatened his life, and fled on foot with his personal effects, which included a wallet, passport, and cash.
Anx, who was 37 at the time of his death, was urgently taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he later succumbed to his injuries. The search for the suspects has been ongoing, with Nashville authorities recently releasing surveillance photos of a man seen in a BMW SUV at a Mapco on Linbar Drive and, the following day, at a Shell on Bell Road—locations within an area he is believed to frequent.
Local law enforcement has enlisted the community's help, urging anyone with any details about the murder to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463, with the assurance that callers can maintain their anonymity and may also be eligible for a cash reward of up to $5,000—an incentive in homicide cases, as stated on the Metro Nashville Police Department website.
