18-year-old wanted in south Nashville shooting

Posted:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The search continues late Friday for a Nashville teenager wanted in connection to a shooting Thursday afternoon in south Nashville.

Metro police said Damian Rucker, 20, was shot in the head at close range outside his home on Mt. Pisgah Road and according to detectives, Eric McBroom is responsible.

The investigation shows that McBroom, 18, and Rucker were acquaintances and had been involved in an ongoing dispute.

On Thursday, McBroom and two other men were removing a dog pen from the property when Rucker came outside and exchanged heated words with McBroom.

Witnesses reported that Rucker hit McBroom in the head, after which McBroom pulled a pistol and shot Rucker.

Rucker was last listed in very critical condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

An arrest warrant charging McBroom with attempted murder was issued late Thursday night.

He is known to frequent the south Nashville area. 

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to call Metro police at 615-862-8600 or Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.
