FRANKLIN, TN — Franklin detectives "continue to piece together details" about the October 23 murder of Devillas Dodson on Chestnut Lane.

Dodson, 37, was discovered around 2 a.m. Wednesday in a Chestnut Lane driveway. First responders attempted CPR, but Dodson was declared dead on the scene. Dodson, who lived in Columbia, was a former Franklin resident who police say was familiar with the residents and the neighborhood.

Police ask anyone in the area with home surveillance cameras to check their recordings for anything that might help with the investigation. A $5,000 reward is being offered for information that helps lead police to Dodson’s killer.

The 1991 murder of Peggy Cox is the only unsolved murder in Franklin history.
