NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The man Metro Police believe to be responsible for a shooting on Meridian Street and East Trinity Lane on May 8 has been identified as 37-year-old Anthony Ussery.

According to a press release by Metro Police, two arrest warrants charging Ussery with attempted criminal homicide have been issued.

The victims - 30-year-old Eugene Covington and 25-year-old Ronnell Covington - were parked at Trinity United Methodist Church on the evening of May 8, when a black 2013 Lincoln MKZ pulled up near them.
