The continuing investigation into the fatal shooting more than six years ago of Ahmad Osborne, 18, in the parking lot of Glastonbury Woods Apartments led to today’s arrest of Dameko Simms, 28, on a grand jury indictment charging him with first-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery.
Simms was taken into custody by the MNPD and the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force as he tried to flee from the rear of a home on Zermatt Drive in South Nashville.
The investigation, led by Detective Mark Miracle, shows that Osborne, 18, of Joelton, had traveled to the apartment complex in a red Ford Mustang on the afternoon of June 22, 2017, to make a drug buy. Shots were fired during a robbery attempt and Osborne was killed.
A co-defendant in this case, Christopher Titus Barr, 26, was arrested on charges of first-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery in December 2018. Barr was convicted of second-degree murder in February 2022 and is now serving a 15-year prison sentence.
