Persons Wanted for Questioning After Woman Struck by Gunfire on East Bank

Officers responded early Monday morning to 1 Titans Way after a 42-year-old woman reported that she had been shot while inside her tent in a nearby wooded area.

Non-Lethal Shooting Unit detectives observed a bullet hole through the tent and a projectile was recovered from inside.

Detectives then responded across the river to 1st Avenue North and Broadway where they recovered two nine-millimeter casings on the steps near the river. A witness reported intervening in a dispute between two groups. He said one of the male individuals had a handgun. They had a physical fight before he said he walked away. He then believed he heard shots being fired. He flagged someone down for help. A call was placed to 911 around 4:25 a.m.

During an interview with the victim, who was struck in both her hands, she reported that she was inside her tent with her boyfriend when she heard men arguing across the river about a gun and heard gunshots. She was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she is recovering.

Anyone who recognizes the individuals, who are wanted for questioning, in the attached photos is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
