A 20-year-old man, Edixon Murillo-Antunez, has been arrested and charged following a shooting spree that left two juveniles injured and caused damage to multiple vehicles in Nashville last month. The violent incident unfolded on Saturday, August 3, beginning around 8 p.m. at Cedar Hill Park on Old Hickory Boulevard in Madison and spanning six miles to the 300 block of North Main Street in Goodlettsville.
According to court documents, investigators established that Murillo-Antunez’s gunfire struck two juveniles and four occupied vehicles throughout the chaotic spree. The details surrounding the shooting indicate a reckless disregard for public safety, as residents in the area were put in jeopardy during the violent outburst.
Murillo-Antunez was apprehended without incident, and he now faces serious charges, including four counts of attempted criminal homicide, 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, felony weapon possession, felony reckless endangerment, and driving without a license. The court has set his bond at a staggering $880,500, reflecting the severity of the allegations against him.
