UPDATE: Victim identified in shooting incident
One man is dead and another was undergoing surgery at a Nashville hospital Thursday morning following a shooting incident late Wednesday night at a Chestnut Drive home, Shelbyville police said.
Charles Dejuan Mayes, 38, died while being transported to Vanderbilt-Bedford Hospital, Detective Nathan Everhart said. Mayes was a resident of the home.
Mayes died of a bullet wound to the head, according to Detective Sam Jacobs.
The surviving man, whose identity has not been released, was brought to VBH by private vehicle shortly after officers arrived at the Chestnut Drive home. He was airlifted to Nashville a short time later. Jacobs said he’d been told the man was shot in the back.
Police and an ambulance were called to Chestnut Drive after neighbors heard gunshots and called 911, Jacobs said. A weapon was recovered at the scene; Jacobs declined to release more details on the type of gun involved.
Investigators as of mid-morning had been unable to talk with anyone directly involved in the incident, Jacobs said.
