NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro police say a 23-year-old man has been arrested in last Wednesday’s fatal shooting on Woodbine Street.

Police noted that new records show the victim, Jose Lopez-Rivas, was 21 at the time of his death, despite earlier information that listed him as 24.

Sis-Tobar’s arrest comes days after detectives charged the victim’s brother, Edgar Lopez, 20, with evidence tampering and making false statements. Investigators say video showed Lopez assisting the shooter in moving his brother’s body from the roadway and going through his pockets in the moments after the gunfire.
