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, following a recent confession to MNPD detectives. Donovan Holt, 33, was indicted by a grand jury for charges including reckless homicide, evidence tampering, and false reporting.
April was found unresponsive in the bathroom of the couple’s home on Cane Ridge Parkway 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 initially classified her death as a suicide in November 2023, determining that her cause of death was due to complications of suffocation.
