NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Nashville Police officers arrested the man they say shot and killed 59-year-old Glen Young nearly two years ago in Edgehill.

It happened Aug. 24 2018 at the Edgehill Homes apartments.

Police officials said in a press release Dobbins was involved in a dice game with several others when a fight broke out. Shots were fired between Dobbins and others across a parking lot.

Dobbins allegedly fired first, which prompted others to return fire at him in self-defense, according to police officials.

Young was inside his apartment watching television. When he heard the gunshots, he stepped outside to look outside. When Young opened his door, he was hit in the chest by a bullet and died shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Dobbins was charged with first-degree murder and unlawful gun possession during the commission of a felony. He was jailed in lieu of a $250,000 bond.
