Franklin Police Still Searching For Answers 2 Weeks After Murder

FRANKLIN, TN — It's coming up on two weeks since 37-year-old Devillas Dodson was found shot dead in a driveway on Chestnut Lane in Franklin and detectives are again asking the public for help.

Emphasizing that they "want your information, not your name," investigators say they are continuing to piece together clues about the last hours of Dodson's life.

Dodson, 37, was discovered around 2 a.m. October 25 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.

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