MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — Three people have now been charged in connection with a shooting at a Murfreesboro home last week, according to police.
Officers responded to a home on Rushwood Drive around 12:11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 9, after it was struck by gunfire. Three people were inside at the time, but no injuries were reported.
Following the investigation, Murfreesboro Police arrested LaSpecial Cantrell, 34, and Harvey Haynes, 35. Investigators said they identified the pair after executing search warrants and recovering the handgun believed to have been used in the shooting.
Police announced a third arrest on Friday, June 12. Rodneisha Patton, 24, was charged with accessory after the fact and possession of a prohibited weapon.
Detectives have also obtained new warrants for Cantrell and Haynes, charging both with attempted first-degree murder. Cantrell additionally faces charges of possession of a prohibited weapon and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to investigators, the shooting stemmed from an argument involving Cantrell and her boyfriend the day before the gunfire. Police believe the boyfriend may have been the intended target.
Patton remains in the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center on a $23,000 bond. Cantrell is being held on a $275,000 bond and Haynes remains jailed on a $250,000 bond. All three suspects are scheduled for a hearing on Aug. 20 in Rutherford County General Sessions Court.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
