October 4, 2023 – MNPD has released more information on last December’s fatal drug overdose of Nashvillian Caroline Black, 35, at her residence in Curb Victory Hall on 12th Avenue South.
Johnny Wayne Tucker, 73, who is also a resident at Curb Victory Hall, was indicted on second-degree murder after investigators say he allegedly supplied Black with lethal fentanyl-laced heroin.
First responders were called to the apartment building last Christmas morning. Black was unconscious and was rushed to a local hospital where she died on December 27. Her cause of death was determined to be fentanyl toxicity.
This case is being handled by detectives from the Neighborhood Safety Unit, a component of the Specialized Investigations Division that works to identify the drug sources in overdose deaths.
A Criminal Court judge set bond for Tucker at $100,000.
