CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Clarksville Police have issued criminal homicide warrants after a shooting victim died from his injuries.

Officers said Wednesday night that they found a 32-year-old man injured while responding to a shots fired call at a home in the 100 block of Bennett Drive. He had been shot multiple times.

Police said he died overnight at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. They did not identify the victim, pending notification of family.

Two other men – Decory Smith and Marc Crowder – were taken to Tennova in a personal vehicle with gunshot wounds. One was later taken to a Nashville hospital. Both are listed in stable condition.
