From the Madison County Sheriff’s Office –

On February 20, 2023, at approximately 6:30 p.m., Madison County Sheriff’s deputies
responded to a residence in the area of Harpeth Drive located in north Madison County in
reference to a shooting.

When deputies arrived they located a deceased female identified as Tyeasha Starks, a 22 year old resident of Clarksville, Tennessee, who died of gunshot wounds.

Preliminary investigation indicated a disturbance at the residence between Ms. Starks and the
residents at the home. The incident escalated and witnesses corroborated that Ms. Starks was
armed with a stun device and was actively ‘arcing’ the device when she was shot by a resident
at the home.

During the investigation it was discovered that this disturbance was due to a child custody issue
involving Ms. Stark’s juvenile child. The Madison County Sheriff’s Office did contact the
Tennessee Department of Children’s Services for a referral follow-up investigation in reference
to the child.

The resident is not currently being identified due to no formal charges being filed at this time.

The investigation by the Madison County Sheriff’s Office remains ongoing and once completed
all information concerning this incident will be provided to the District Attorney General’s
office, who has been consulted throughout the course of the investigation.
