A coordinated effort between Madison Precinct detectives and TITANS (The Investigative Team Addressing Neighborhood Shootings) detectives led to the arrest of Jamar Simmons, 31, following Sunday evening’s shooting at the Target on Gallatin Pike North.
The suspect, later identified as Simmons, entered the store at 4:37 p.m. and browsed for approximately ten minutes before going toward the men’s section where a single round was fired at the back wall.
Simmons fled in a maroon Chevrolet Impala. He was identified through surveillance photos.
TITANS detectives located Simmons at his home on Wynnhaven Court where he was taken into custody. Simmons had an outstanding theft warrant from last June where cash was stolen out of a partially open register at a Wendy’s drive-thru.
Simmons has been charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and vandalism. He is currently being held in lieu of $103,500 bond.
