SUMMARY: Tennessee law enforcement, in collaboration with authorities in Chattanooga, arrested four individuals connected to an illegal sex trafficking operation in Hamilton County. Charges include prostitution, drug possession, and weapon offenses. One suspect, Adelvis Rodriguez-Carmona , is linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which operates across major cities. The gang is difficult to track due to its members’ frequent movement. Rodriguez Carmona is also suspected of violent crimes in Chicago and New York City. Despite outreach to law enforcement across East Tennessee, many counties were unaware of the gang’s presence in their areas.

The TBI said Adelvis Rodriguez-Carmona is a “known member of Tren de Aragua,” and is suspected of violent crimes in Chicago and New York City.

SUMMARY: Rent prices in Nashville have seen significant drops, with some of the largest annual decreases in the country. The city’s rental market has been boosted by incentives like free rent and referral bonuses. Experts attribute the price drops to an increase in supply, with the South seeing a rise in multifamily home completions. However, Joel Sanders from Apartment Insiders predicts rents will stabilize or even rise slightly by March 2024, as landlords prioritize occupancy. Demand for apartments remains strong due to the influx of people moving to the area, suggesting potential rent increases in the near future.

Nashville is seeing some of the largest annual decreases of rent in the country.
