NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — More than a year after 35-year-old Cierra Burrage was struck and killed at an East Nashville crosswalk, investigators are still looking for the driver responsible.
Burrage was heading home from her job as a cook on the evening of Dec. 6, 2022, when the Metro Nashville Police Department said the deadly crash happened. It was around 5:50 p.m. and she was making her way across a marked crosswalk on Oakwood Avenue.
A driver in a burgundy 2006 Chevy Tahoe reportedly sped through the crosswalk, continuing down the road even after striking Burrage. Friends and family said they were shocked by the driver's carelessness in an interview with News 2 after the crash.
“You didn’t even stop to ask, to see if she was okay, to see if she’s breathing or anything. You just left her there,” Burrage’s partner, LaTrica Edwards, said while shaking her head.
Edwards described Burrage as "the most beautiful, honest and genuine person you could have ever met" with a deep love for food and family. She would have turned 36 last August.
While the investigation has remained ongoing, police renewed their calls for information in the case on April 18, offering tipsters a reward of up to $5,000. Detectives are still trying to track down the suspect vehicle, which may have front end damage, including a missing grill.
Anyone with information on the vehicle or any other details regarding the crash is asked to contact the MNPD's Crash Investigation Unit at 615-862-7738 or Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers can remain anonymous.
