A police presence highlighted in a Nashville street following a serious incident.
A shocking incident in Nashville on November 29 escalated from a simple inquiry to attempted murder. A heated argument outside a bar led to a car striking a woman, resulting in critical injuries. The accused, wearing an ankle monitor from a prior assault, now faces serious legal repercussions, raising concerns about community safety.
Nashville is known for its lively nightlife, charming neighborhoods, and vibrant music scene. However, this past November 29, a somewhat shocking incident unfolded that left many in the community in disbelief. Late that evening, just outside a local bar called Minerva Avenue, a simple question spiraled out of control into a serious act of violence.
The situation began when 21-year-old Diamond Tankard approached the car of a woman’s sister, asking if she knew a specific male. This seemingly straightforward inquiry sparked an argument that quickly escalated. An altercation ensued between Tankard and the victim’s sister, raising voices and tensions among the parties involved.
Witnesses say things took a turn for the worse when the victim, a 30-year-old woman, noticed the commotion and exited her vehicle to intervene. Perhaps hoping to restore peace, she stepped into the fray, unaware of the chaotic events that would soon unfold.
After the altercation, it seemed like things had calmed down—but not for long. Rather than retreating and defusing the situation, Tankard shocked everyone by driving away, only to suddenly turn her vehicle around. Eyewitness accounts describe a scene that quickly escalated again, with Tankard accelerating toward the women in a fit of rage.
In a terrifying moment, Tankard struck the victim with her vehicle, causing significant injuries. Reports indicate that the woman suffered critical injuries, including multiple broken bones. The aftermath of the incident not only left her injured but also left the surrounding community grappling with disbelief and concern.
Adding to the gravity of the situation, it was revealed that at the time of this incident, Tankard was wearing an ankle monitor due to a previous domestic assault arrest in another county. This raises serious questions about her behavior and state of mind leading up to this shocking event.
The legal ramifications for Tankard have been serious. She has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, a charge that reflects the severity of her actions that night. Additionally, she faces other charges related to her failure to notify law enforcement, failure to provide information or render aid, and failing to file a report following the crash that caused injury.
Currently, Tankard is being held in the Davidson County Jail with a hefty bond set at $1,002,000. The severity of her charges illustrates the serious nature of the incident and the potential consequences she may face depending on the outcomes of her legal proceedings.
The Nashville community has reacted with a mix of shock, concern, and indignation. How could a night out with friends devolve into such madness? This incident is a stern reminder of the importance of resolving conflicts peacefully and the lengths to which anger and aggression can lead when left unchecked. As the legal proceedings unfold, many are watching closely, not only for justice for the victim but also for the important lessons that can be drawn from this turmoil.
As Nashville continues to be a hub of activity and excitement, stories like this remind us all of the need for compassion and understanding in our daily interactions.
