Homicide Unit detectives are pursuing active leads in Saturday night’s fatal shooting of 15-year-old Genesis Sarahi Medina Gonzales after she was brought to Southern Hills Medical Center with multiple gunshot wounds. The male driver of the vehicle in which Gonzales arrived stayed at the hospital.
He told detectives Gonzales asked him earlier in the day to pick her up last night from Smith Springs Park. The driver said upon his arrival, he saw Gonzales with two males and a female. He got out to meet Gonzales and asked if she was ready to leave.
The driver said he heard gunshots as he and Gonzales were walking towards his vehicle and saw the three suspects running in another direction. Gonzales reported she’d been shot and he drove to Southern Hills.
She was transported to Vanderbilt Pediatrics where she died.
Gonzales has a runaway history in Nashville and was recently reported as a runaway out of Arkansas by her mother.
