Woman fatally stabbed in Nashville, police are on the lookout for suspect

Officers throughout the city are on the lookout for the man who fatally stabbed 23- year-old Tiffany Ferguson inside her Wedgewood Place apartment at 5:40 a.m. today. The police and fire departments responded to a 911 call placed at 5:41 a.m. by Ferguson’s roommate, who awakened to her screams.

When the roommate exited her bedroom, she saw the front door to the apartment open. She then found Ferguson in her separate bedroom suffering from stab wounds.

A review of surveillance video from the apartment building shows a man pulling on the door handles of parked cars during the 5 a.m. hour. He found at least one that was unlocked and rummaged through the vehicle. He is then thought to have also checked for unlocked apartment doors.

He entered Ferguson’s apartment through what was believed to have been an unlocked door and began looking for valuables. He exited the apartment at least once with items. He put them down outside before reentering.

The attack on Ferguson is believed to have come during his reentry. The murder suspect wore a zip hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans with apparent holes in the rear knee area of both legs as well as the front, and boots.

Anyone recognizing the man from the surveillance video is urged to immediately contact the Emergency Communications Center at 615-862-8600 or Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
