NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Detectives from the South Precinct and the Specialized Investigations Division are working to identify the person who used a rifle to open fire on two unoccupied vehicles in an Antioch neighborhood late Sunday night, one of them a marked Metro police car parked on the street outside an officer’s home.
The officer was inside his residence at 11:14 p.m. when he heard gunfire coming from the street. The shooter is believed to have fled in a gold or silver Nissan Altima. No one was injured by the gunfire.
The other unoccupied vehicle hit by bullets was a Ford Mustang parked across the street from the police vehicle. The same Mustang was targeted by a gunman in the late night hours of March 9th. Officers were told on the night of the 9th that the Mustang was a teenager’s vehicle. He was not present during either incident. That teenager has been charged with multiple offenses from 2017 through this year, including last year’s carjacking of a 63-year-old man in the parking lot of a library/community center.
Anyone with information on the person(s) responsible for the gunfire is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
