NASHVILLE — An arrest warrant charging attempted aggravated robbery has been issued against the man shot at 9:45 p.m. Tuesday outside the US Bank branch at 929 Bell Road.
Kenneth K. Cathey, 19, of Hickory Hollow Place, received multiple gunshot wounds and is being treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He will be arrested upon his discharge from the hospital.
The man who shot Cathey, Tevin Kelly, 25, of Nashville, said he opened fire in self-defense after Cathey approached him with gun drawn as he was making a deposit at the bank’s ATM. Kelly said he initially saw Cathey, whom he did not know, sitting across the parking lot from the bank. Kelly said he was initially suspicious of Cathey because he was wearing a red hoodie in warm weather with the hood tightly drawn around his face.
After being shot, Cathey ran a short distance in the parking lot and collapsed. Kelly said he saw that Cathey dropped his gun, which he (Kelly) picked up. Kelly said he then drove to his girlfriend’s apartment before deciding to return to the scene and speak with police. Kelly gave detectives the pistol he said Cathey was carrying. Kelly has been cooperative in this continuing investigation.
