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.
Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
