From wkrn.com:
At number one, Jeffrey Lamont Thorpe is considered Nashville’s “Top Most Wanted” fugitive, according to the MNPD.
Thorpe is wanted for questioning in the death of his 2-year-old son, who police said was shot in the head on Halloween night at an apartment complex in East Nashville.
The child’s mother told police Thorpe was visiting and placed a gun on a bed. The 2-year-old then reportedly picked up the gun and fired it, striking himself in the head.
Thorpe drove the child and his mother to TriStar Skyline Medical Center, where he dropped them off and did not return, according to police.
The 2-year-old was moved to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he was listed in extremely critical condition. Police said he passed away a few days later.
Thorpe also has several outstanding warrants. According to the MNPD, he is wanted for reckless homicide, four counts of aggravated assault, child neglect, two counts of probation violation, resisting arrest, evading arrest, failure to appear, theft and criminal trespassing.
One of the aggravated assault charges stems from an argument last June during which police said Thorpe pointed a handgun at a car containing the 2-year-old and his mother.
According to police, Thorpe was last seen in East Nashville. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact, the MNPD by calling 615-862-8600 or by calling Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.

Thoughts? We know Thorpe is still at large as of today's posting date (November 26th, 2022), since the above was an article posted today about the new weekly most wanted list being done by the Nashville Police Department- Criminal Warrants' Divison's Facebook page.
