North Precinct officers today arrested murder suspect Tessa Knapp, 21, on Rosa L. Parks Blvd. She is accused of intentionally running over and fatally injuring her former roommate with a car on February 1st in the parking lot of the Rodeway Inn on Old Hickory Boulevard in Hermitage. The victim, Amanda Byers, 20, died on February 5th.

Knapp is being held without bond pending a hearing.
Before she died, Amanda Byers, 20, identified Tessa Knapp as the woman behind the wheel of a car that knocked her down and ran over her on February 1. Byers succumbed to her injuries four days after the incident.

Byers told investigators that Knapp had stolen her money and other belongings.

Metro Nashville Police said that surveillance footage from the Rodeway Inn in Hermitage showed a woman, alleged to be Knapp, run to a car in the motel parking lot with Byers following. The video shows Byers banging on the side of the car, and a witness reported hearing Byers yelling for the driver to stop. Byers tried to block the car, but the driver struck her, knocking her down and running over her with the left front tire.

“The vehicle stopped for a moment with Byers under the car before the driver rolled over her again with the rear tire,” MNPD said.
