Nashville Nurse’s Killer Gets 25 Years Of Prison
Nashville district attorney’s office claimed that the man who shot and killed a Nashville nurse as she was heading towards her work two years ago was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Wednesday. In January, Devante Hill was found guilty of the murder of a Nashville nurse named Caitlyn Kaufman 26 years old. During the trial, Hill admitted that he killed the Nashville nurse Kaufman on December 3, 2020, when she was traveling to Saint Thomas West Hospital after 6 pm. A WPXI news reported that Hill 21 years old was charged with criminal homicide in the death of Caitlyn Kaufman.
Hill confesses that he had been using drugs when he got in the car with co-defendant James Cowan to go pick up Cowan’s girlfriend. While on the interstate, Kaufman cut them off on the highway, “Cowan hit the brakes and it startled me,” Hill testified. “I remember getting the handgun and shooting the gun, but I couldn’t remember at that moment how many shots I’d fired.”

Six Bullets Fired That Killed The Nashville Nurse
According to his testimony, he fired a single bullet out of six bullets at her causing Kaufman to die. Around 9 p.m., Kaufman’s Mazda CX-5 SUV was discovered in a terrible state alongside Interstate 440. A Metro Parks officer believed it to be a single-vehicle accident.
The jury clears Cowan, who claimed that he was just only the driver and had no part in the shooting incident. Both men knew Kaufman and she was from Chicora, Pennsylvania, a small town in Butler County that sits 50 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Kaufman moved to Nashville in 2018 after accepting a job, their family has said, achieving her longtime desire to live in the city.
