CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Clarksville man accused of attacking an EZ Market clerk with a machete during a robbery is now facing an additional criminal attempted homicide charge.
The Clarksville Police Department said 23-year-old Aaron Boodoosingh was initially arrested and charged with especially aggravated robbery following the June 30 attack at the EZ Market at 1801 E. Boy Scout Road.
Officers responded to the store around 10:18 p.m. after receiving a report of a stabbing. When they arrived, they found the store clerk with multiple lacerations.
Investigators said Boodoosingh used a machete during the robbery, causing multiple cuts to the clerk. Officers worked through the night to identify both the suspect and the vehicle involved before arresting Boodoosingh at his home the following morning without incident.
Police said Detective Lockerman later conducted a follow-up interview with the victim and obtained additional information about the attack. Based on that information, Boodoosingh has now been charged with criminal attempted homicide.
He remains in the Montgomery County Jail and is being held without bond on the attempted homicide charge. He was previously charged with especially aggravated robbery.
Police said the victim has since been released from the hospital and is continuing to recover from injuries sustained in the attack.
The investigation remains active and ongoing. Anyone with additional information or video related to the incident is asked to contact Detective Lockerman at (931) 648-0656, ext. 5299.
