NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Metro Police say an alleged robber was shot and killed overnight by a victim in north Nashville. At least one suspect remains at large.
The incident was reported around 11 p.m. Sunday, at a residence on Chateau Valley Court.
Officials with Metro Police said Marcus Henley and Maurice Harris were standing in front of Harris' house after the Titans game when a white Jeep Cherokee pulled up.
According to police, the alleged gunman, identified as 22-year-old Clarence Goins, was armed with a semi-automatic pistol when he got out of the SUV and demanded their belongings.
A second suspect also got out of the Jeep and took Henley's wallet, while police said Goins grabbed the keys to Harris' Chrysler 300 sedan. As Goins was getting inside the vehicle, Henley, who was armed, pulled a gun.
Police said Goins opened fire, which led to Henley shooting back in self-defense.
Goins was struck and died at the scene. Authorities were able to recover his weapon.
The other suspect got into their white SUV and drove off. Henley and Harris remained on the scene and cooperated with the investigation.
"We have a vehicle description and obviously have a deceased suspect on the scene, so with that information we expect some leads will come forth out of that," said Capt. Jason Starling with Metro Police.
