NJ Man Arrested In Clarksville In Death Of Girl

Posted

A New Jersey man has been charged with murder in the shooting of an 8-year-old girl who was caught in the crossfire.

Investigators say 18-year-old Camden resident Tyhan Brown was arrested Friday at his uncle's home in Clarksville, Tennessee.

Gabrielle "Gabby" Hill Carter was hit in the head by a stray bullet while across the street from her home in August in Camden.

Authorities say gunfire broke out when several men opened fire on an intended target.

It wasn't immediately known if Brown had an attorney to comment. U.S. Deputy Marshal Danny Shelton says he was arrested without incident. He is in jail while awaiting extradition proceedings.

His mother and another woman have been charged with hindering the investigation.
