to honor the memory of the victims of the Waffle House shooting in Nashville on the seventh anniversary of the tragedy.

AI Summary

This resolution honors the memory of four victims who were tragically killed during a shooting at a Waffle House restaurant in Antioch, Nashville on April 22, 2018. The victims—Akilah Dasilva, DeEbony Groves, Joe Perez, and Taurean Sanderlin—were all young individuals with promising futures: Dasilva was a computer engineering student at Middle Tennessee State University, Groves was a Belmont University student and former high school basketball star, Perez was a Texas native working as a subcontractor, and Sanderlin was a five-year Waffle House employee known for his friendly demeanor. The resolution acknowledges the immense loss to the Nashville community, emphasizing that these four individuals were denied the opportunity to live and contribute to society. By passing this resolution, the Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate seek to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the shooting by formally recognizing and honoring the memories of these four victims, ensuring they are remembered for their potential, character, and the impact they had on those who knew them.
