NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It's been six months since a deadly shooting inside a brunch restaurant shook the community.
A man shot six people, and killed one, inside Roasted Salemtown Easter Sunday.
Tuesday, the owner of the restaurant Ericka Fizer confirmed that location will be closed for good.
"That place was most definitely a blessing," Fizer said, wiping away tears. I was making people happy, I was making people smile..."
Despite the emotional journey, she's been hard at work, keeping their business alive with to-go orders at Midtown Foods and making plans to open a new location near Clarksville Pike in the future.
"We are 100% coming back. It's my dream, I don't know what I'd be doing otherwise," she laughed.
She said support right now is everything. If you want to help out, you can order from their Midtown location on any food delivery app or by stopping by in person.
As she works towards a brighter future, she'll keep close every person who was impacted that day.
"They will not be forgotten at all," Fizer concluded.
The accused shooter, Anton Rucker, was indicted Tuesday on several charges, including first degree murder.

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
