The man murdered just before 6 p.m. Wednesday in a courtyard outside the Citizen Plaza State Office Building on Deaderick Street is identified as Steven James Godwin, 35, of Nashville.
Surveillance video shows that Godwin left the WeGo bus station with the male assailant and walked to the courtyard across the street. He was fatally shot during an altercation. Detectives are pursuing leads as they work to identify the gunman.
A person in a high rise building nearby saw Godwin on the ground this morning and notified police.
