Update:
Metro Nashville Police have arrested a suspect in the fatal January 2023 shooting of 23-year-old Jonathan Seda inside a vacant home on Crowe Drive.

Police say Brandon Long, 19, of Decatur, Alabama, turned himself in at MNPD headquarters after learning earlier this month that he was wanted in connection to the case. Long is charged with criminal homicide in Juvenile Court because he was 16 at the time of the killing.

Investigators say Long lured Seda and his 18-year-old brother to the basement of the home for a suspected drug transaction. During the meeting, Seda was fatally shot and his brother was critically wounded but later recovered.

According to police, Long admitted to the shootings during an interview on Thursday. He remains in custody pending a detention hearing.
