NASHVILLE, Tennessee — SWAT officers assigned to the Special Response Team late Tuesday night arrested 19-year-old Christian A. Evans on a charge of criminal homicide for the May 31st fatal shooting of a fellow teenager inside Club Kilimanjaro at 1402 Artic Avenue.
Seventeen-year-old Brandon Williams was shot inside the crowded establishment at approximately 1:30 a.m. He was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Investigation by North Precinct Detective Nick Kulp led to the development of Evans, of Constitution Avenue, as the possible gunman. Witnesses who viewed photo lineups then identified him as the shooter, leading to Tuesday’s issuance of a murder warrant.
Evans was convicted of felony aggravated assault on May 22nd, just days before the fatal shooting. He received a three-year probated sentence.
Evans is now being held in the Metro Jail without bond pending a hearing.
