Fatal Murfreesboro hit-and-run death of Isaiah Isom – Obituary
The Murfreesboro Police Department’s Fatal Accident Crash Team (FACT) is actively investigating a tragic hit-and-run incident involving a vehicle and a bicyclist that occurred on Thursday, July 18. The accident, which claimed the life of a 30-year-old male cyclist, happened near the Walmart store in the 2900 block of S. Rutherford Blvd. around 5:30 p.m. The name of the deceased cyclist is being withheld pending notification of his family.
Authorities have identified the driver of the vehicle involved as 41-year-old Isaiah Isom from Murfreesboro. Isom was driving a 2011 Buick Enclave at the time of the incident. Initially, he fled the scene, but later two women drove the SUV back to the location. One of the women falsely claimed to be the driver. Investigators soon realized this was a lie. When detectives visited Isom at his home, he initially denied being behind the wheel but eventually confessed.
Isom has been arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving death or serious injury and driving on a revoked license due to a prior DUI conviction, according to a press release from the MPD. Further charges may follow. The two women who attempted to mislead the investigation have been interviewed, and their actions are now under review by the Rutherford County District Attorney General’s Office and a Rutherford County Grand Jury.
