Mother of the man who were killed in antioch-drive-by shootings to ask for help

Nashville, Tenn. (WSMV) – A mother asks for help to find the person who shot and killed her son.

Months after the 29-year-old Joshua Burns was shot on October 27, 2024, a reward of $ 10,000 is now offered for information that could help the police arrest the drive-by shooter.

“Joshua was bright my light,” said Glenn.

That was up to your phone on October 27th.

“One of his best friends called and said: 'Mom, Josh was shot; We are on the way to Southern Hills, ”said Glenn.

The police said that paramedics had risen burns into the Southern Hills Medical Center before being transferred to the Skyline Medical Center. Two days later, the investigators said that doctors declared burns dead.

“I was October 29,” said Glenn. “Then they considered him dead because he was brain dead. I didn't believe it. I didn't believe it because his body was still there. “

Now four months after the shootout, the police said that they are fighting to track down the shooter who killed burns.

And Glenn said she started fighting even harder for her son's justice.

Glenn said she had a message for people in the community.
