NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Hermitage Precinct detectives Thursday charged Timothy Frazier, Jr., 16, with criminal homicide for the October 14th fatal shooting of Brandon Adams, 18, in the parking lot of McGavock High School. Frazier is also charged at juvenile court with attempted criminal homicide and two counts of especially aggravated robbery.
Frazier was taken into custody shortly after arriving at Maplewood High School where he was to have taken an exam.
The murder investigation, which is being led by Detective Jason Cregan, shows that Adams and a relative rode to McGavock High School at 9 p.m. on Sunday, October 14th, in a Honda Civic to meet other individuals. Adams and his relative arrived first. The other vehicle pulled beside theirs. An occupant of the other vehicle got into the backseat of the Honda Adams was driving. A second occupant of the other vehicle got out and threatened Adams and his relative with a pistol. As Adams sped off, the gunman, who is alleged to have been Frazier, began shooting. Adams was hit several times and crashed near McGavock Pike. He was transported to Skyline Medical Center where he died.
His relative was treated for a graze wound. The person in the backseat fled from the car just prior to or after the crash. The investigation is continuing as detectives work to identify that individual and anyone else who may have been involved.
