North Nashville Shooting Leads to Girlfriend's Death
Police close off an area damaged by an explosion on Christmas morning on December 25, 2020, in Nashville, Tennessee. A Hazardous Devices Unit was en route to check on a recreational vehicle which then exploded, extensively damaging some nearby buildings.
According to Yahoo News' latest report, the shooting incident happened in the 2000 block of Vista Lane in North Nashville, Tennessee.
On Sunday, Sept. 10, the Metro police said that they were alerted around 6:30 p.m. regarding the happening. Based on their affidavit, police officers who responded to the scene were flagged down by a man.
The individual was seen standing at the front doorway of a residence. After that, the police responders decided to enter the house.
They found a woman found lying on the second floor of the residence. Authorities said that the lady suffered from a gunshot wound to the head.
Police and other responders tried to save the woman by taking her to the TriStar Skyline Medical Center. Unfortunately, doctors pronounced her dead.
The Metro police identified the victim as Danielle Yarlett. Her boyfriend was arrested after he confirmed that he shot the woman.
The man also showed the weapon used to the police officers, which was quickly secured.
Boyfriend Claims It's Accidental
A police officer investigates the scene where a man was taken into custody following a series of shootings throughout the city on September 7, 2022, in Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis police arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with the shootings of multiple people.
WKRN.COM reported that the shooter was identified as Brandon Brown, a 31-year-old resident in the area. He was arrested by the police for investigation.
When officers asked him, Brown confirmed that the victim was his girlfriend. He shared that they frequently argue about numerous things.
But, Brandon said that the latest argument they had before the incident was about another woman. This hints that Yarlett suspects Brown of cheating.
When it comes to the death of his girlfriend, Brown denied shooting his partner and didn't provide any reason why he killed her.
The suspect claims that he didn't shoot his girlfriend and that the gun just went off accidentally. As of writing, the investigation is still ongoing, especially since Brown did not provide any explanation for how the gun happened to be there during their argument.
Yarlett's boyfriend is still held in the Metro Jail on a $200,000 bond. He is also facing criminal homicide charges.
