Update: The deceased has been positively identified as Steven Pardoe III, 24. The investigation is continuing.
Homicide Unit detectives are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding this morning’s fatal shooting inside an apartment at 570 Church Street E near the Davidson/Willliamson County line.
The deceased has been tentatively identified as a 24-year-old local man. His identity will be confirmed through the assistance of the Medical Examiner. At this point in the investigation, it appears the victim was visiting a 25-year-old male friend who lives in the apartment. The 25-year-old told initial responding officers that he and the victim got into a struggle over a pistol which went off, fatally wounding the 24-year-old. The 25-year-old declined to be interviewed in detail by detectives for the time being. The investigation is continuing. No charges have been placed.
