A man has died after he was shot during an incident in Madison between a him and his ex-girlfriend.
The shooting was reported shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday at the Charter Village Apartments, just off Rio Vista Drive.
Officials with Metro Nashville Police said 31-year-old Stefanie Lopez, who had an order of protection against her ex-boyfriend, Laquentin Franklin, shot him during the fight.
She told officers that Franklin kicked open the door of her apartment and a physical struggle ensued.
Lopez's current boyfriend, who was inside the home asleep, heard them fighting and separated the two. Franklin reportedly got a knife from the kitchen and tried to get past Lopez's boyfriend to get to her.
That's when she fired a pistol at Franklin. He was transported to Vanderbilt University medical Center where he later died.
The order of protection was issued in December after Franklin head-butted Lopez at work and made threats against her. He was convicted of domestic assault on December 21.
No charges will be filed in the case.
