NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — In the second homicide of the year in Nashville, a man died after being shot during an apparent armed robbery in East Nashville.

The victim has been identified as 32-year-old Broderick Porter-Baugh.

Porter-Baugh, his girlfriend, and four children arrived at their residence on Saturday night. Two gunmen approached the car and demanded money.

One of the gunmen then forced Porter-Baugh's girlfriend and the children inside the home at gunpoint while the other remained outside with the victim.

After a bit of time passed, Porter-Baugh's girlfriend reported hearing a gunshot, after which both suspects fled in the victim's vehicle, a 2012 white GMC Terrain. This vehicle was later located unoccupied on Adlai Street.

Porter-Baugh was shot in the leg and was transported to Skyline Medical Center where he later died.

The suspects are described as young men one with should-length dreadlocks. They were both wearing camouflage cloth over their faces.

Anyone with information on the identity of the gunmen is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
