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.
As we honor those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice, it is also heartening to see the military right a wrong. Chris Davis brings us the moving story of a Purple Heart ceremony two decades in the making. It's worth a watch.
A heartfelt thanks to all who bravely serve.
