NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A suspect has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting at a North Nashville nightclub that claimed the life of a 17-year-old.
The incident happened inside the Kilimanjaro night club on Artic Avenue back in May.
Officials with the Metro Nashville Police Department said 19-year-old Christian Evans was arrested late Tuesday night in the fatal shooting of Brandon Williams.
