18-year-old Devon “Devo” Guerrier was involved in the shooting of Robert Bell Jr at the MAA Nashville West apartments on December 3rd, 2023. One of Bell’s neighbors found him on the sidewalk, suffering from a gunshot wound on his leg. The neighbor transported him to Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital West, where officers made contact. Bell stated that he was trying to sell a handgun to a person named Devo so he could make rent. Devo arrived at the apartment complex with an unknown driver and texted Bell so he could conduct the transaction. He sold the gun to Devo for $450. Once the transaction was completed, Devo got out of the car with a different handgun and pointed it at Bell, demanding that he get the money back. When Bell refused, Devo shot him in the leg, and his driver stole the $450 back from him. Devo and his driver sped off. A witness stated that she heard a gunshot and looked outside. When she looked outside, she saw Devo with a handgun standing next to Bell. During the investigation, Guerrier was developed as a suspect and was later identified by Bell in a photo lineup. Devon Guerrier was taken into custody and charged with aggravated robbery.
