GALLATIN, Tenn. (WKRN) — While many people are mourning the death of a woman in Gallatin, authorities are trying to track down her husband, who’s wanted for homicide and reportedly considered armed and dangerous.
The Gallatin Police Department said officers responded to a home at approximately 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 6 after a relative found Lisa Drake’s body. Law enforcement described the incident as a “domestic shooting death.”
Officials initially said they wanted to find Little Page Drake III for a welfare check and information about the situation, but a few hours later, they announced he had active warrants for criminal homicide. He has yet to be found.
On Friday, March 7, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) added Little — who was Lisa’s husband, according to loved ones — to the state’s “Most Wanted” list, saying he should be considered armed and dangerous.
Authorities said the 57-year-old is believed to be driving a black 2007 Honda Ridgeline truck with Tennessee license plate 727BNDY. The TBI described Little as 5-feet 9-inches tall, 165 pounds, and bald with brown eyes.

Meanwhile, some of Lisa’s friends said the mother and grandmother was not only dedicated to her family, but she was also beloved in the community.
“Every time I saw her, she always talked about her kids; she always talked about her grandkids,” longtime friend Pamela Cohen said. “We laughed about how many grandkids we had…She’s just such a good soul.”
Others talked about how kind Lisa was to everyone she met, adding that she never met a stranger. For her family and friends, she left a legacy of love.
Police said Thursday’s shooting appeared to be the result of a domestic situation. However, no additional details have been released about the case, including where in Gallatin the shooting took place.
