NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Nashville Police are investigating a self-defense claim after a man was shot and killed in the parking lot of Bar-B-cutie on Gallatin Pike.
The shooting happened just after 9 a.m. on Saturday. Investigators believe 23-year-old Skyler Whitefield-Brewner and 50-year-old Richard Trout were in a confrontation when shots were fired. Trout was struck multiple times and later died at the hospital.
Whitefield-Brewner fled the scene but later went to MNPD headquarters to speak with detectives.
As of now, no charges have been filed with the shooting; however, Whitefield-Brewner was booked on two outstanding warrants for reckless driving and evading arrest.
Once the investigation concludes, the District Attorney's office will decide whether or not to charge Whitefield-Brewner.
