'NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Hundreds of families are still seeking closure and justice as the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) continues to investigate a staggering number of cold cases. With around 560 unsolved homicide cases dating back to the 1960s, along with 60 missing persons cases and roughly 20 unidentified remains cases, the department is urging the public to help bring these investigations to a conclusion.'

Among those deeply affected by the ongoing investigations is Amber Posey, whose daughter, Ashanti Posey, was just 17 years old when her life was tragically cut short.

Ashanti was driving with a friend on April 9, 2020, when someone opened fire on their vehicle, fatally injuring her.

“It’s been almost five years with no justice,” Amber Posey said. “You just kind of learn to create your new normal.”

The Posey family’s pain reflects the broader anguish felt by many families in the community.

Amber, along with countless others, is pleading for help in solving these cases.

“I’m just reaching out to you and pleading as a mother: say something,” she said.''
