NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — An 18-year-old is facing multiple charges after Metro Nashville Police say a Mapco clerk was shot during a confrontation Monday night in Donelson.
According to MNPD, Jordi Matos-Espinoza surrendered to police downtown Tuesday and is now charged with attempted criminal homicide, felony reckless endangerment, use of a gun in the commission of a dangerous felony, and vandalism.
Police said the shooting happened just after 9:30 p.m. Monday at the Mapco convenience store at 3900 Lebanon Pike.
Investigators said the 34-year-old clerk recognized Matos-Espinoza as someone who had allegedly stolen from the store before. The clerk told police he approached him, and Matos-Espinoza backed out of the door and pulled a pistol from his waistband.
Shots were fired, and the clerk was wounded in the hip and finger, according to police.
MNPD said Matos-Espinoza’s bond was set at $150,000.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
