NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Police said a man was killed Friday night in an alleged self-defense shooting.

The Metro Nashville Police Department said David Mitchell, 35, was killed at an apartment on South 4th Street. Deshawn Baker, 47, told police he had invited Mitchell and Dijon Simon, 33, into his home.

Police said Baker reported being pistol-whipped by Simon during an alleged robbery attempt and a fight broke out between the two of them. Shots were fired during the fight — one of which hit Mitchell.

He was taken to the hospital, where he died. Police said they do not believe any shots were fired from Mitchell’s gun.

Baker’s friend, 47-year-old Mario Sowell, was inside the apartment at the time and was also hit by gunfire. He was hospitalized and is reportedly in stable condition, according to police.

Police said Simon was found at a nearby apartment with a gunshot wound. He was hospitalized and is also in stable condition.

Two handguns, one reported stolen in 2021, were recovered by police.

ST. LOUIS — Prosecutors filed charges against a man after police said his ex-girlfriend shot him in self-defense Saturday morning in south St. Louis.

Martez Hopgood, 21, was charged with one count each of first-degree harassment and non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images.

Hopgood called his ex-girlfriend multiple times and threatened her life, and also posted a threatening message about her online, including her address, and “tried to entice others against her,” a probable cause statement said. He also publicly posted private sexual images of the victim, police said.

At around 8:30 a.m. Saturday, police said Montez chased her around on the 7000 block of Morgan Ford Road while holding his hand in his pocket “to make it look like he had a gun” while her son was in a car waiting for her, police said.

“While she was trying to get away from him, and was screaming, ‘No! No!’ he continued to approach her on her porch. Terrified that he would kill her, as he threatened to do over and over again, (the victim) shot him in his leg,” the probable cause statement said.

Anything worth shooting is worth shooting a lot. Thanks again, Gun Bunny.

If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.
