NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two people have been arrested in the I-24 shooting that took the life of 22-year-old Noah Taylor.
Taylor was shot and killed while driving on I-24 this past Saturday morning.
Taylor was found dead in his car near Waldron Road around 7:30 a.m. while traveling toward Nashville. Deputies arrested LaTashia McGowan and Glenn Branson on Friday in Smyrna along Old Nashville Highway.
Police believe this was a road rage shooting. There is no apparent relationship between Taylor and the two suspects.
Both suspects are being held at the Rutherford County jail. Branson is being held on a $1M bond, and McGowan is being held on a $250,000 bond. Hearings for both suspects are set for Sept. 23 in General Sessions Court.
Taylor had just celebrated his birthday in June, and his funeral is today. His family offered a $2,000 reward for information leading to a suspect. Rutherford County Crime Stoppers offered an additional reward of up to $1,000.
No word on exactly what led to the arrests, but detectives have been working this case nonstop since the shooting. They say the suspects fired several shots at Taylor from a dark colored Infiniti SUV.

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!
