Timothy Hodge was also organizing his relocation from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, to Nashville.

He was born and raised in Nashville, but left the city in 2016 when he and his ex-wife, with whom he has three children, decided to part ways.

The family was essential to him, so he applied for an apartment in Nashville for himself, his fiance, and their two daughters not long before he passed away.

He wished for them to live nearer to their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, half-siblings, and cousins.

Hodge's wife, DanTay McCullough, also remembered him, telling the media how much he loved the rain and how much his daughters are crying for him now.

No reason for the killing has been established yet. Authorities are looking at all possible angles.

Nashville has had a high spike in crime recently, with new stories coming up every day. The city has been on receiving end of a lot of media coverage.
