Kenneth Dewayne Johnson, 31, from Nashville, Tennessee, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for the unlawful possession of ammunition. This charge follows a shooting incident in May 2024 at a downtown Nashville bus station, according to an announcement by Henry C. Leventis, United States Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee.
Johnson, who was initially charged through a federal criminal complaint, now faces a federal indictment related to the shooting on May 16, 2024, at the WEGO Station, located at 400 MLK Jr. Boulevard. The indictment states that a Metropolitan Nashville Police Department officer was nearby when the gunfire occurred. The officer reportedly saw Johnson holding a pistol and fleeing the scene. The officer pursued Johnson, who discarded the pistol before being apprehended. The recovered pistol was loaded with five rounds of ammunition, and a high-capacity magazine containing forty-nine rounds was also found.
