NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Metro police have made an arrest in connection with a shooting that occurred during a vehicle burglary last week.

A 17-year-old was taken into custody over the weekend as part of an auto theft investigation. Now, he is facing an aggravated assault charge, as police believe he is responsible for shooting an Amazon driver last week in a warehouse parking lot on Myatt Drive.

On Saturday, detectives spotted the 17-year-old suspect driving a stolen black Ford Fusion. A police helicopter followed the car until it stopped at a business on Charlotte Pike where the teen was taken into custody.
