The son of country music hit-maker Casey Beathard and the brother of country singer-songwriter Tucker Beathard has died. <\/p>\n

Clayton Beathard, 22, was killed in a stabbing outside of The Dogwood, a popular bar in Nashville\u2019s Midtown neighborhood at around 3:00am on Saturday (Dec. 21).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fatal stabbings appear to have resulted from an argument over a woman that began inside Dogwood Bar and then turned physical when the parties went outside,\u201d the Metro Nashville Police Department said in a statement. \u201cMultiple persons were involved in the outdoor fight during which the two men were both fatally stabbed in their sides. A third stabbing victim, a 21-year-old man, was treated and released.\u201d<\/p>\n

The police are asking for the public\u2019s help in finding the suspect. <\/p>\n

Along with Beathard, Paul Trapeni III, 21, died as a result of the stabbing. <\/p>\n

Beathard had played football at Long Island University and Battle Ground Academy. <\/p>\n

In a 2016 interview, Beathard told CMT.com<\/a> that his close-knit family was the reason he\u2019s been able to pursue his Nashville dream. \u201cMy dad, my mom and my four siblings have already become this family fan base for me. The cool thing is that they have no problem telling you if a song is dumb,\u201d Tucker admitted. \u201cWe\u2019re all best friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beathard\u2019s father Casey has written No. 1 hits for Eric Church, Tim McGraw, Trace Adkins, Kenny Chesney, Darius Rucker, George Strait, Terri Clark, Jake Owen, Gary Allan and many more. <\/p>\n

In a statement from the Beathard family, they called Clay soft-hearted with an undeniable love for the Lord, and said, \u201cNobody\u2019s light shined like His when he smiled.\u201d<\/p>\n
