NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A mother in Nashville is desperate for justice after her son, Joshua Burns, was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting on October 27, 2024. Four months have passed since the tragic incident, and the perpetrator remains at large. Adra Glenn, Burns’ mother, is pleading for anyone with information to come forward.
According to Glenn, Burns was her light, and his sudden death has left a gaping hole in their lives. The night of the shooting, Burns had been at a Halloween party when a passing car opened fire, tragically hitting him in the head.

As the search for Burns’ killer continues, Glenn remains determined to seek justice for her son and ensure that his memory lives on. Donations to a GoFundMe page are contributing to the reward fund and supporting a foundation in Burns’ honor.
The unresolved tragedy serves as a reminder of the urgent need to address gun violence in the community and prevent further loss of life. Glenn’s plea for accountability and unity resonates with many, highlighting the importance of coming together to combat violence and prioritize the safety and well-being of all.
