#Cops seek second suspect in murder of TN nurse Caitlyn Kaufman

Authorities in Tennessee are seeking a second suspect in connection with the murder of a 26-year-old nurse who was fatally shot on her way to work in early December.

James Cowan, 28, is wanted for criminal homicide on suspicion of killing nurse Caitlyn Kaufman, who was gunned down in her car as she was driving to St. Thomas West Hospital in Nashville on Dec. 3, the Metro Nashville Police Department said in a statement Wednesday.

Another suspect, Devaunte Hill, was arrested in East Nashville on Dec. 11. He’s been jailed on a criminal homicide charge.

Police say Hill and Cowan know each other.

Phone records show both men were at the scene when Kaufman was shot in the shoulder on Interstate 440 around 6 p.m., police said.

Authorities have not revealed a motive for the shooting.

Federal law enforcement is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to Cowan’s whereabouts, and Nashville police is offering an additional reward of $1,000 leading to his arrest.
