NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A teen has died after being shot early Sunday morning on Nolensville Pike. No arrests have been made.
It stemmed from a number of cars in a lot off Nolensville Pike doing donuts. That's when police said guns were fired just after 1 a.m. and 19-year-old Darwin Henriquez-Perdoma was shot in the head.
Police said someone dropped him off at a nearby hospital and left. Henriquez-Perdoma was then transferred to Skyline Medical Center where fought for his life for several days, before succumbing to his injuries.
The shooting happened in a parking lot at the intersection of Nolensville and Elysian Fields Road, just a few blocks from the Zoo.
A lesson in never giving up: Jack's story will have you believing dreams really can come true. It's so uplifting to hear those around him talk about his determination and then to see it rewarded. Not many teens would email coaches every week just to hear a 'no,' but Jack did. And eventually, it all pays off.
