Boy, 12, killed after suspect opened fire during brawl near theater district, police say
المصدر: Fox News | Source: Fox NewsA 12-year-old boy was killed when a suspect opened fire during a "brawl" that happened in Nashville's theater district on Sunday night.
Damarion Morehead was shot in the head when a fight involving "six to seven" people broke out at the intersection of Representative John Lewis Way and Deaderick Street, which is right next to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
Morehead was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
The Metro Nashville Police Department arrested 24-year-old Devin Orr, who is the suspected shooter. Investigators were able to examine video from the incident.
In a statement, the Metro Nashville Police Department said, "During the brawl, Orr reached into his waistband to retrieve a handgun. At this point, persons involved in the fight began to run away. Shots were fired and Morehead fell to the ground."
The brawl started over a female, police say.
When detectives questioned Orr, he allegedly admitted to putting a handgun inside a sewer; it was later recovered by investigators.
Davidson County court records say Orr is due in court on Wednesday; an attorney for the suspect has not yet been listed.
