NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man is back in custody after allegedly shooting a teenager last month in East Nashville.

Specialized Investigations Division TITANS detectives arrested him, charging him with felony aggravated assault and felony reckless endangerment.

Johnson is in jail facing a $191,000 bond.
