NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two teens have been arrested for the January murder of another teen in South Nashville in January. That shooting marked the first homicide of the year in Nashville.
MNPD detectives said 18-year-old William Silva was shot multiple times in the early morning of January 2 during a robbery.
On Wednesday, 18-year-old Gabriel Beltran was arrested in Murfreesboro and his co-defendant, 18-year-old Htet Star was arrested in Antioch Thursday evening.
They were both 17 at the time of Silva's murder and are charged at Juvenile Court.
Police said Silva was shot near Nolensville Pike and was dropped off at Southern Hills Medical Center at 1 a.m. the morning of January 2 with multiple bullet wounds.
Silva died a short time later.
Silva's mother shared a GoFundMe after his death to help support her and her family as they mourn the loss.

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
