NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — An East Nashville man is in jail after shooting and killing his girlfriend late Friday night.
Metro Police responded to the 500 block of South 6th Street around 11:44 p.m.
An investigation by homicide detectives shows that 27-year-old Lewis Thomas got into an argument with 27-year-old Latoria Mitchell in a local nightclub.
Police say during the argument, Thomas pushed Mitchell and was then escorted out of the club.
The investigation says later that night, Thomas drove to Mitchell's apartment around 11:40 and went inside where another argument broke out between the two.
Mitchell retreated outside and that's when police say Thomas shot her multiple times, including after she was lying on the ground.
Authorities quickly located Thomas on James Robertson Parkway. Police say he implicated himself in the shooting and admitted to disposing of the gun he used in it.
Lewis Thomas is charged with criminal homicide and evidence tampering. He is being held without bond.
