Update: Edwin Damas, 29, is charged with aggravated assault and theft of a firearm following his arrest Wednesday for firing multiple rounds into a Litton Avenue residence. During an interview, he admitted to being outside the apartment on February 14 and on the day of the shooting. He said that he received messages from his child’s mother which led him to mistakenly go to the apartment.
A loaded handgun was located on his person. The gun was reported stolen in Davidson County in June of 2024.
Damas remains jailed on $40,000 bond.
Aggravated Assault detectives are working to identify a man who last month twice approached an apartment in the 1100 block of Litton Avenue, prior to firing multiple rounds into the residence. Fortunately, the victims, a 43-year-old woman and 50-year-old man, were not injured.
On February 14, the suspect sat on the porch for nearly an hour before leaving. He returned on February 19 and spoke to the victims through a home security system, stating that his name was Nasan and that he was a father to a child at the location. Neither of the residents knew him or what he was talking about. He left the property on the 19th but returned about 30 minutes later and fired nine rounds into the apartment, causing damage to the exterior door and three windows.
Anyone who recognizes the gunman from the attached photo is asked to contact Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
