Christon Collins, 19, surrendered himself this afternoon for the June 26 murder of Eric Whigham on Edgehill Avenue. Whigham, 26, was shot multiple times following a conversation outside with another man, later identified as Collins.
Whigham was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.
Collins is charged with criminal homicide and two counts of felony probation violation. He was sentenced to 11 months supervised probation after a July 2022 arrest on felony gun and drug charges.
He was free on bond at that time from a May 2022 incident where Collins was seen leaving a short term rental property in a stolen vehicle that resulted in a crash. He was sentenced to three years probation in that case.
Collins was also arrested on two counts of domestic assault on June 2, 2023. Those charges are pending, and he was free on $3,000 bond at the time of the murder.
