NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro police say homicide detectives are investigating after a man was killed and a teenager was injured in a shooting Saturday night that began at an apartment complex in Antioch and ended with a vehicle crash at a nearby gas station.
Officers responded around 8 p.m. to reports of gunfire at the Willow Pointe Apartments on Hickory Hollow Terrace. Shortly after, authorities were called to a crash in the parking lot of a Mapco on Bell Road, where they found two victims inside a vehicle suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Police said the victims — 21-year-old Marek Winters and a 16-year-old — were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Winters died from his injuries. The teenager remains hospitalized in stable condition.
Detectives believe Winters and the 16-year-old drove to the apartment complex to conduct a drug transaction. Multiple shell casings were recovered at the scene.
No arrests have been announced. This shooting remains under active investigation.
The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is a great little gem in North Nashville. The founder and curator turned his home into a museum to keep the legacy of historic Jefferson street alive. Now, it's been named a stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Aaron Cantrell takes us inside.
