South Precinct detectives are also working to identify the persons responsible for the shooting death of Jose Lozano Miranda, 23, who was found dead at 10:20 p.m. inside a 1998 Mitsubishi Diamante parked in the lot of the Citgo market at 4719 Nolensville Pike.
Officers arriving at the market to investigate a report of a man passed out in a car found Miranda dead from a gunshot wound to the chest.

The store's surveillance system shows that he arrived in the market parking lot at 9:08 p.m. Detectives believe he was shot at approximately 9:16 p.m. Two men inside the store during that time frame are believed to have information about the homicide. Their photos accompany this media release on the Internet. Anyone seeing them or knowing their whereabouts is urged to contact South Precinct Investigations at 862-7763 or Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.
