According to police, officers responded to the apartment on Oakwood Avenue just before 9 p.m. and found that Aydeen Pruitt had a gunshot wound to his head. He was then rushed to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

His mother told detectives she was in the kitchen when she heard a loud pop come from the bedroom. That's when 23-year-old Dandre Pruitt fled the apartment.

Police say he fled with the gun in a white Kia Soul.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Dandre Pruitt is asked to call 615-862-8600.

Archived Sky 5 video shows Nashville's skyline transformation

Nashville's skyline looks drastically different than when I came to NewsChannel 5 in 1993. A lot of those changes have happened in just the last several years, and the skyline continues to grow. Sky 5 and several viewers have been able to visually document it. I love Austin's look back!
