NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man is dead after police say he was attacked in East Nashville, and possibly run over by a car. It happened on South 5th Street and Russell Street Monday night.
Police initially thought it was a hit-and-run after arriving to the scene, but a new update from detectives revealed nearby surveillance cameras showed 59-year-old James Sutton was attacked by another man before falling into traffic.
Police say it's still unclear if he was hit by a car, but he was taken to Vanderbilt with a severe head injury and multiple broken ribs. He later died at the hospital.
Police are asking anyone who lives in the area to review their cameras for anything that can help in the investigation.

I am so inspired by Sheila Gann's love for her husband and her resilience. Anyone who has lost a loved one to Alzheimer's knows how cruel this disease is - not only for the patient but also for those who love and care for them. Mike and Sheila clearly had a remarkable love story, and she is now honoring that in the most beautiful way. Thanks to Forrest Sanders for sharing their story.
