Posted

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man is back in custody after allegedly shooting a teenager last month in East Nashville.

MNPD officials said his ankle monitor helped detectives place him at the scene of the October shooting.

27-year-old Keandre Johnson had been wearing one because of an arrest earlier this year involving fentanyl, cocaine and a gun. He's now back in custody after shooting a 19-year-old man on S. 13th Street in East last month.

Specialized Investigations Division TITANS detectives arrested him, charging him with felony aggravated assault and felony reckless endangerment.

Johnson is in jail facing a $191,000 bond.

Fundraising underway for Tina Turner statue to be placed in Brownsville park

Fundraising efforts are underway in Brownsville and Nutbush, TN to build a statue for a major superstar who was raised there, Anna Mae Bullock. You probably know her by her stage name, Tina Turner. I was a huge fan of Tina and glad to see efforts are underway to showcase more of her ties to West Tennessee.
