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 aftermath of the historic ice storm will be felt for a long time by many, but what looked like a hopeless situation for one small business owner proved to be quite the opposite. This community would not let her fail. Patsy Montesinos shares the story with a truly happy ending.
