Nashville, TN — The Nashville community is grappling with grief and unanswered questions after 42-year-old Keona Wilson lost her life following a heated confrontation with another woman on Monday evening, August 25, 2025.
Authorities confirmed that Wilson, who believed her husband was inside a residence on Scalf Drive, was fatally shot after a dispute escalated into violence. The case has left loved ones devastated and neighbors stunned at how quickly an argument turned deadly.
What Led to the Confrontation
According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, Wilson drove to a home on Scalf Drive after seeing her husband’s vehicle parked outside. Witnesses and investigators say Wilson moved the car closer to the front of the house before approaching and knocking on the door.
Inside the home was 42-year-old Keosha Geer, a woman Wilson reportedly believed was romantically involved with her husband. Tensions flared almost immediately. The two women began arguing through the home’s security camera speaker, with Wilson demanding answers about her husband’s whereabouts.
Argument Turns Deadly
Police reports indicate that the disagreement intensified when Wilson allegedly tried to push her way into the residence. Geer is said to have fired a shot through the closed door, narrowly missing Wilson.
Despite the initial gunfire, Wilson entered the home, and a physical struggle broke out between the two women. During the altercation, investigators say another shot was fired — this time striking Wilson in the stomach.
A Desperate Attempt to Survive
Wounded but determined to get help, Wilson managed to get into her husband’s car and drive away from the scene. She made it as far as the Madison Police Precinct, where she flagged down an officer for assistance.
Emergency responders immediately rushed Wilson to Skyline Medical Center. Despite doctors’ efforts, her injuries proved fatal, and she passed away shortly after arrival.
Investigation Ongoing, No Charges Yet
As of Tuesday morning, Metro Nashville Police confirmed that no charges have been filed against Geer, though the case remains under active investigation. Officials are reviewing evidence, including security footage and eyewitness testimony, to determine whether the shooting will be considered self-defense or a criminal act.
The Davidson County District Attorney’s Office is expected to review the findings in the coming days before a decision is made.
