Nashville, TN – A 26-year-old man was allegedly shot and killed Saturday morning at an apartment complex on Bell Road, prompting an ongoing homicide investigation in Nashville.
According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, officers responded to Preakness Apartments where they found the 26-year-old Bahamian man in a breezeway suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died. Authorities said efforts are underway to notify his family.
Witnesses at the scene reportedly told investigators that a dispute over rent payment preceded the shooting. Police stated the 31-year-old suspect, who allegedly surrendered at the scene, was involved in a dating relationship with the victim’s roommate.
Investigators determined both the victim and the suspect were allegedly armed at the time of the incident, though it remains unclear if the victim fired any shots.
