Police have asked the public's help in identifying a suspect who was seen on surveillance video prior to a shooting near a Smyrna bar and grill.
Officers with the Smyrna Police Department were called to the parking lot of Singha Bar and Grill shortly after 12:30 a.m. Thursday.
They arrived at the business located at the corner of Sam Ridley Parkway and Weakley Lane and found that a man had been shot in the face.
That person was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and was in critical condition.
Police said both the suspect and victim had been in the bar prior to the shooting. However, the motive remains unknown at this time.
By the time officers arrived, the suspect had already fled the scene.
He was seen on surveillance video and was described as an African American male with thick dreadlocks with a beard and a tall, thin build. He was wearing a light-colored hoodie and light-colored ball cap.
Police said he may have fled in a light-colored Cadillac CTS and could live in Murfreesboro.
Anyone with information was asked to call Smyrna Police at 615-459-6644.
