Nashville, TN – A 21 year old Nashville man has been charged with criminal homicide after a 25 year old woman was fatally shot near the entrance of an apartment complex Friday night, according to police.
According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department , Gemaurien Robinson, 21, faces a criminal homicide charge in connection with the death of Cenya Holland, 25, following a shooting Friday, Nov. 6.
The incident occurred around 10:15 p.m. near the entrance of an apartment complex at 345 Dellway Villa Drive in Nashville's Davidson County.
Woman Found With Multiple Gunshot Wounds
Officers responding to reports of gunfire discovered Holland suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Emergency responders transported her to Skyline Medical Center, where she later died.
Homicide detectives began investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting, reviewing surveillance footage from the area and interviewing witnesses.
According to investigators, that evidence led them to identify Robinson, who lived at the apartment complex, as the suspect.
Suspect Reportedly Admitted Shooting
During an interview with detectives, Robinson allegedly admitted shooting Holland while the two were walking together.
Police said Robinson claimed Holland posed a danger to him.
However, investigators reported that he did not identify a specific threat or provide an explanation supporting his claim that she was dangerous.
Authorities subsequently charged Robinson with criminal homicide.
The department's Nov. 7 news release did not provide additional details about the relationship between Robinson and Holland or describe what led to the confrontation.
Police also did not disclose additional information about the firearm involved.
Investigation Leads to Criminal Charge
The shooting adds to the serious violent crime cases investigated by Nashville homicide detectives.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department has not announced a court date or provided additional information about Robinson's legal proceedings in the supplied release.
The criminal homicide charge remains an allegation, and Robinson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
