Nashville, TN – A 25-year-old man is being sought by police after an allegedly unprovoked assault left a 66-year-old victim with serious injuries earlier this month in Nashville.
According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the alleged attack happened Wednesday, March 11, when the suspect, identified as Michael Casey Jr., allegedly approached and violently assaulted the older man for no apparent reason. Authorities said the victim suffered significant injuries as a result of the encounter.
Investigators allege Casey repeatedly struck the victim during the incident, though officials have not released further details about what may have led up to the attack. Police described the assault as aggravated in nature, citing the severity of the injuries reportedly sustained.
A photo of the suspect has been released as part of an ongoing effort to identify and locate him. Detectives say Casey remains at large and is wanted for questioning in connection to the alleged assault. Law enforcement officials emphasize that all allegations remain under investigation and that Casey is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Officials are urging anyone who may have seen the incident or who may know Casey’s whereabouts to come forward. Crime Stoppers is offering a way for tipsters to provide information anonymously.
