A Nashville man was charged Wednesday night in connection with a road rage shooting in Madison. Police said he admitted to the shooting in a video posted to Facebook.

According to his arrest affidavit, 21-year-old Lazarus Williams got into some sort of traffic incident with a woman on Monday on Due West Avenue and Argle Avenue.

After the incident, police said Williams chased the woman down Due West Avenue and fired a gunshot at her.

From there, Williams allegedly ditched his car and ran into a nearby fast food restaurant, where an officer arrested him. 

He was later released from custody, until police said they saw a Facebook video Williams posted that night in which he admitted to the shooting -- even mentioning he threw the gun down when he ran from police.

Thursday morning, Williams was arrested again and charged with aggravated assault.
