OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On December 16, 2021, at approximately 2:30 a.m., officers from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department responded to a report of an abandoned Chevrolet Impala with its doors open on Old Hickory Boulevard West in Madison. Witnesses reported hearing gunfire from a nearby wooded area. Officers arrived and believed the gunfire was directed toward them. For about 40 minutes, they repeatedly ordered the individual to surrender. The individual, later identified as 39-year-old Anthony Marcell Phillips, emerged from the woods, appeared to ingest a substance, and shouted expletives. He then fired two shots at the officers. Officer Ricardo Cruz returned fire with a shotgun, fatally wounding Phillips. A semi-automatic 9 mm pistol was recovered from the scene. Phillips had a warrant for tampering with an electronic monitoring device and was a convicted sex offender. No officers were injured in the incident. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is conducting an investigation into the shooting.
