NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police are searching for a man wanted for questioning in connection to the deadly shooting of a 3-year-old boy on Wednesday.
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.
I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
