NASHVILLE, Tenn. â A reward of more than $34,000 in the Christmas Day bombing in downtown Nashville would be given to state and local law enforcement agencies.
The Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp created the reward fund shortly after the bombing damaged a large portion of 2nd Avenue. Investigators later determined that the person responsible died inside the RV that exploded. However, in those early stages of the investigation, the reward was used to encourage anyone to come forward with information that would lead to a possible arrest and conviction in the case.
