Nashville – A 39-year-old man, identified as Mohamed Mohamed, has been charged with four counts of rape following the alleged sexual assault of an unconscious woman outside Nashville Life Church. The incident occurred on Thursday night around 9:30 p.m. on Nolensville Pike, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD).
Witnesses from the Nashville Fire Department (NFD) witnessed the assault, which was happening on a sidewalk in front of the church. When NFD crew members arrived at the scene, they observed Mohamed attempting to pull up the unconscious woman’s pants. They quickly detained him and contacted the police for assistance.
Firefighters on the scene administered Narcan to the victim, who appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance. She was subsequently transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. An autopsy is pending to determine the exact cause of her death, and toxicology tests are being conducted.
The victim has been identified as a 34-year-old woman, believed to be homeless, with no identification found on her person. MNPD is actively working to identify her through fingerprint analysis. Surveillance video from the area reveals that she was walking unsteadily before sitting down on the church steps. The footage shows her going in and out of consciousness while trying to fend off Mohamed’s advances. Eventually, she stopped resisting and appeared to lose consciousness completely.
Mohamed has been booked into Davidson County jail, with a bond set at $300,000. Prior to this incident, he had a documented history of charges including public indecency and sexual battery. The ongoing investigation involves MNPD’s Homicide, Special Victims, and Narcotics detectives.
