Nashville, TN – A 20-year-old man is facing two counts of criminal homicide after his pregnant girlfriend was fatally shot inside a North Nashville home early Sunday morning, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
Police identified the suspect as Amare Ramey, who allegedly shot Amya Finney, 17, inside a residence on Bixler Avenue. Authorities said Finney was two months pregnant at the time.
According to police, Finney’s mother told investigators that her daughter called asking to be picked up from her boyfriend’s home after the couple began arguing. The call ended abruptly, and moments later, dispatch received a hang-up 911 call that prompted officers to respond.
Responding officers found Finney in a bedroom with a gunshot wound to her abdomen. She was transported to Skyline Medical Center, where she later died.
Police said Ramey surrendered at the North Precinct later that afternoon. During questioning, he allegedly admitted to being present when the gun discharged and claimed he was manipulating the firearm at the time. Investigators said there was no documented history of domestic violence between the two.
Court records show Ramey had been arrested in March 2024 on multiple charges, including aggravated burglary, carjacking, and aggravated assault. He was sentenced this past June to four years of supervised probation.
Ramey is currently jailed in lieu of $1 million bond, police said.
