A trial is set to begin Jan. 23 for the two men charged after Nashville nurse Caitlyn Kaufman was fatally shot while driving to work in December 2020.

Kaufman was working as an intensive care unit nurse at Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital West and tending to COVID-19 patients. The evening of Dec. 3, 2020, she was fatally shot on a busy corridor along Interstate 440 in West Nashville. She was 26.

Devaunte Lewis Hill, 23, and James Cowan, 30, were later arrested in connection with Kaufman's death. Both face first-degree murder charges. Nashville police said road rage may have been a motivation in the shooting.

It was an incident of road rage but the intention was to hurt or kill
Such fragile masculinity that needs to empty a gun into Caitlyn’s car because she “cut them off”

Certainly not the verdict that most expected:

Jury verdict: Cowan not guilty, Hill guilty of second-degree murder in Caitlyn Kaufman case

After an eight-day trial, a jury has determined that Devaunte Hill is guilty of second-degree murder and James Cowan is not guilty in the December 2020 murder of Caitlyn Kaufman.

www.newschannel5.com

"After a trial lasting more than a week, a jury acquitted one of the two men charged in the death of nurse Caitlyn Kaufman on I-440 while finding the other defendant guilty of a lesser charge.

On Tuesday the jury found Devaunte Hill guilty of second-degree murder, and returned a not guilty verdict on all charges for James Cowan. Hill fired shots that killed Kaufman two years ago in what was described as a road rage shooting. Cowan was in the car with Hill at the time of the shooting, but the jury found he was not responsible for Kaufman's death."

Defendant acquitted in Kaufman murder trial remains locked up

When Cowan was arrested two years ago following Kaufman's murder, he was charged with possessing narcotics and guns and remains detained in Davidson County on those active charges.

www.newschannel5.com

A jury found DeVaunte Hill guilty of second degree murder in the road rage shooting of Caitlyn Kaufman Tuesday. He faces up to 25 years in prison at sentencing, which is scheduled for March 3.

However, the jury found James Cowan, the driver of the car, not guilty — a complete acquittal.

It was unclear if Cowan would be immediately released from the Davidson County jail and go home after spending the past two years behind bars awaiting trial.

Authorities say when Cowan was arrested for the murder of Kaufman two years ago, he was found to be in possession of narcotics and guns. He is already a convicted felon.

So, in addition to the murder charge, Cowan also faced charges for drug possession and felon in possession of gun. Those charges remain active.
