A man who formerly lived in Nashville was arrested in San Antonio, Texas, last week for the July 2023 homicide of his wife, April Holt, 29, after a recent confession to Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) detectives. Donovan Holt, 33, was indicted by a grand jury for reckless homicide, evidence tampering, and false reporting.
April Holt was found unresponsive in the bathroom of the couple’s Cane Ridge Parkway home with a plastic bag taped tightly around her neck. She was transported to Southern Hills Hospital, where she later died. The Medical Examiner’s Office classified her death as a suicide in November 2023, determining the cause of death to be complications of suffocation.
