On Sunday, August 21st, 2005, Fransisco Gonzalez and his brother got into an altercation with four or five Hispanic males in the parking lot of Altamont Pointe Apartments located at 860 Murfreesboro Pike around 3:30am. Gonzalez was sitting in the driver’s seat of a black early 90s Chevy step side pickup with tinted windows when he was fatally shot. His brother heard the gunshots and when he ran out to see what was going on, was attacked and severely beaten. A friend of the brother came out and shot at the males beating him, and they scattered on foot. The brother then ran to the pickup, pulled the deceased Gonzalez out of the vehicle, and fled the area. Fransisco Gonzalez was 19 years old at the time of his death.
