NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Two men were shot in the parking lot of a liquor store on Murfreesboro Pike early Saturday morning.The Metro Nashville Police Department said the two men were allegedly there to commit a drug-related armed robbery.
Shortly after 4 a.m., MNPD officers responded to 2622 Murfreesboro Pike, where they found a man’s body on the ground and other evidence of a shooting.
The body of the dead man was identified as 42-year-old Brandon Watson, police said. His accomplice, 44-year-old Antione Ellis, was shot in the neck and drove himself to a local hospital.
Once Ellis is released from the hospital, police said he will be arrested and charged with aggravated robbery, aggravated assault, and felony gun possession.
According to police, Ellis and Watson arrived in a Jeep and a short time later, a Dodge Charger arrived and parked next to the Jeep.
Watson reportedly walked towards the Charger and began talking to the driver as Ellis emerged with a gun.
Ellis reportedly pointed the weapon at the interior of the car as Watson attempted to rob the driver by reaching inside.
The driver of the charger was able to break free and fired shots out the window, causing Watson and Ellis to run.
After the driver reportedly shot Watson and Ellis, police said he fled the scene.
MNPD is pursuing leads as it works to find the driver of the Charger.

‘Isn’t the first time store was targeted’: Fresno jewelry store owners speak out
by: Jason Takhtadjian
FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) — At least three suspects are wanted after using a car to ram into a family-owned jewelry store near Cedar and Herndon Avenues, Fresno police say.
Exclusive surveillance video shows the suspects forcefully backing into the front of the business at least twice.
Nader Hussein and Mohammad Younes’ families own Alquds Jewelry. Nader said he was inside with other people, including two kids, during the attempted robbery.
“We saw the car going in reverse and we thought they were just trying to park normally because they messed up, but they went, like, forward again and drive and they reversed fully in the back and they hit the glass in the door and we just all got scared,” Nader Hussein said.
Nader’s younger brother was right next to the glass as the car attempted to drive in.
“I went to grab my brother from the chair. He was sitting in the front. I took him inside and we just called the police,” Hussein said.
Mohammad tells us he was at home when he found out his family’s store was possibly robbed.
“I hear my dad and my mom screaming. I’m like, what’s going on? They said the store got robbed. I jumped out, sprinted out the door. I wasn’t even wearing my shoes correctly,” Mohammad Younes said.
As the suspects tried to get away, an employee at a nearby business fired a gun at least once at the suspects’ getaway cars. Fresno Police said right now, that man is not facing charges.
“Our detectives will be interviewing that civilian to see if there’s any crimes or any statutes that he may have violated,” Fresno Police Department’s Henry Garcia said.
Mohammad said this isn’t the first time their store was targeted by robbers.
In Friday’s attempt, he said the suspects used at least two getaway cars and left the white Lexus SUV behind.

“They do believe that this is possibly involved with or the suspects are possibly involved with other robberies throughout the state,” Garcia said.

Hopefully there was no surveillance camera at the carjacking site, and the carjackee stays anonymous and unknown (providing the driver keeps his yap shut).
The trash taking out the trash? And fighting back will always make a perp rethink their career choices…in all of these cases.
“…hanging on the wall, propped in the corner, on the nightstand, by each door, in every room, always with in reach…” Well…you get the idea.
“…more likely to be put to work bagging small game or dispatching pests at close range.” That includes two (2) legged pests!
Hopefully the concerned citizen merely stated that under advice of an attorney he wished to make no statement at this time and STFU.
I remember when I worked at McDonalds in 1984. Nobody got shanked but I could understand the argument. If the bitch cuts my hours how do I get new rose colored glasses?
The stabber made a statement in one of the videos indicating she may not be a reliable employee when she said she came to work on her day off to “make up hours she missed”. Sounded to me like she takes unauthorized breaks during her work week then wants to work those missed hours on her schedule. At this time it’s moot since she won’t be working a job for decades if ever again. Not her first stabbing either. She got away with it the first time so figured she was entitled to get away with it again.
Yeah…too much left out of the skank’s back history to make a more reliable judgement call.
Hours missed due to no show/no call?
Or hours missed due to poor management of employees and duty roster?
But, as OT said, a moot point because said skank won’t be working at a Mickey Dees for a long, long time. I’m thinking that the closest she’ll get to serving fast food is ladling slop at the prison chow line.
There is a 100 percent chance the world would be a better place if the occupants of the Charger had also been shot. As it is, though, doing half the job is better than none.
“Risen Phoenix”? No longer, I’m thinking. She’s going to have her wings clipped and her fire extinguished in short order. (short….order…..see what I did there?)
Okay, when you don’t come in to work on the days you’re supposed to work, someone else has to pick up the slack you leave. You don’t just “come in and make up your hours” like “taking a make-up test” at school.
And that defense lawer!
“Well, y’see, she maybe DID stab someone before, but, y’know, she was kinda sorta maybe justified in doing that because of abuse, and alcohol, and being in a bad relationship…and um….yeah, that kinda thing. So, that one doesn’t count against her for being violent.”
Stabbed someone and got away with it. Stabs her manager and the manager dies.
With that mouth of hers I’d be careful because someone may stab her skank ass in the slam.
We could only hope. Save the taxpayers a butt load of $$$$.
Favorite First Daughter-in-Law’s grandparents owned a small local jewelry store.
I can tell you first hand that the small jewelry store owners are not rich – but barely squeaking by. But all the perps see is gold and jewels and think “rich folks”
Please tell us where East Point is, so we can stay away from there. (News stories used to tell who, what where, how, maybe why).
