NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro police are investigating a shooting in Nashville that left one man dead in his caretaker's house on Saturday night.

The shooting took place around 8 p.m. at the 3800 block of Crouch Drive in the Trinity Hills area.

Police say 41-year-old Matthew Degnan, who needed full-time living assistance was inside his caretaker's home when someone in a dark colored sedan opened fire on the house and hit Degnen in the chest.

Degnan is deemed an innocent bystander in what they are calling a "senseless murder."

Detectives are pursuing leads on who the intended target was and who's responsible for the shooting.

Just a week earlier on September 20th, shots were fired at the same house but no one was hurt in that incident.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
