A 21-year-old male was shot and killed in the rear parking lot of the Knights Inn hotel in Antioch on Thursday night during a drug transaction.
Metro Police responded to the shooting call at 1111 Bell Road at around 10:30 p.m. They say the investigation reveals that the victim and a friend went to the location to purchase drugs.
The victim walked to the front passenger side window handed $20 dollars to the right front passenger, according to police. The suspect then began firing the pistol at the victim and his friend. The victim and his friend began to run as they were being shot at. The victim was struck and the suspect vehicle sped away.
The suspect is described as light skinned black male, about 20-years-old, tall, thin, has sunken cheeks, balding or short hair and armed with a semi-automatic pistol. The driver of the suspect vehicle was described as a 21-year-old white male with long blonde hair and a moustache. The suspect vehicle is said to be a red four-door 2006-07 Nissan Altima. The vehicle was missing hubcaps and had an Illinois license plate.
After the suspect vehicle fled the area, a passerby apparently saw the victim was injured and helped to get him into the back seat of his car. The passerby then drove the victim and his friend to Southern Hills Hospital.
The victim was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
At this time, there are no known suspect(s).
Anyone with information is urged to call CrimeStoppers at 74-CRIME.

Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert at country fest
May 24, 2013 18:26 GMT
By CHEVEL JOHNSON Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The sounds of country music take over the City of Baton Rouge as the Bayou Country Superfest brings some of the genre's biggest names to LSU's Tiger Stadium for a Memorial Day holiday jamfest.
Headlining Saturday are Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker and Aaron Lewis, the former frontman for rock band Staind. The two-day festival concludes Sunday with performances by Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.
Festival producer Quint Davis says the talent and free fan fest held before the nightly concerts help to entice attendees. In its fourth year, the festival drew 75,000 people last year.
Visit Baton Rouge executive vice president Renee Areng says Superfest has encouraged people to travel to Baton Rouge on a traditionally sleepy weekend.
