NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man has been arrested in connection to a shooting that left five injured outside of an Antioch nightclub on Labor Day.

According to court documents, surveillance video shows the victims standing in the parking lot of 823 Hamilton Crossings Boulevard when a Silver Jeep drives past them and opens fire.

Dashawn Davenport was identified as the driver of the jeep.

Officials stated that numerous people were in imminent danger of being shot and that five individuals suffered injuries as a result.

Davenport has since been charged with attempted criminal homicide and five counts of reckless endangerment.

According to Metro Police, Davenport was also arrested in April 2023 and charged with felony weapon possession, evading arrest, and drug possession.

Remembering Eudora Boxley, a trailblazing TV cook from WLAC's early days

I LOVE Forrest's stories on the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I wasn't familiar with until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black on air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps, one of the first African Americans to have a TV cooking show anywhere in the country. It wasn't until her grandson reached out to me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to connect him with Forest to learn more about this great nugget in NewsChannel 5 history.
