Months of investigation by West Precinct detectives into the December 2008 shooting death of Lindbergh Thompson outside Ace Market at 808 Bradford Avenue has now led to the indictment of three men on charges of first-degree murder.
Rivera Peoples, 19, Antonio Harris, 22, and James Dowell, 19, are believed to have been preparing to rob the market when they confronted Thompson, an employee who was taking out the trash. Thompson was fatally wounded and the three suspects fled.
At the time of their indictment for Thompson’s murder, Peoples and Harris were already incarcerated on charges of aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping relating to the abduction of three persons from a home in the 4000 block of Harding Place in West Nashville on the night of November 23, 2008. In that case, the homeowner, his 19-year-old daughter, and her 19-year-old boyfriend were forced into a vehicle and taken to two ATMs in Green Hills from where the suspects used the victims’ cards to withdraw money. They were subsequently released unharmed in a subdivision near Hillsboro High School.
Harris is a convicted robber who received a seven-year sentence in 2006. He received a four-year sentence for aggravated burglary in 2004. His parole was revoked following his arrest last December.
