NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police say Jeremiah Smith, 14, has been arrested for criminal homicide after shooting and killing Brenden Grady, 14, during an attempted robbery outside 154 N. 6th Street.
On Friday night, Smith was trying to steal Grady's pistol when he shot him. The two did previously know each other, according to police. Smith fled from the scene in a stolen Toyota Tundra pickup truck that was taken with keys on Thursday from Rebecca Street in East Nashville. The truck was recovered overnight from a parking garage on S. 5th Street.
Smith was arrested and is being held at juvenile detention on charges of criminal homicide, vehicle theft, robbery and evidence tampering.
North Nashville lost a passionate advocate and historian with the passing of Lorenzo Washington. I had the pleasure to get to know him while working on a story and left with a wealth of information and appreciation for how Jefferson Street shaped the sound of Music City. Aaron Cantrell shows us how Lorenzo will forever be part of that.
