A comprehensive investigation into a shooting incident that occurred during a pool party on July 11 at the Cambridge at Hickory Hollow Apartments has resulted in criminal charges against two 18-year-olds. The case was significantly aided by ballistic science and a private license plate reader.
Detectives from the Specialized Investigations Division recently arrested Sujoy Guha-Perry. He is accused of driving the vehicle from which the shooter exited and fired shots. During the incident, a 16-year-old girl was injured as attendees scrambled for safety.

The alleged shooter, Davin Denson Jr., has been in custody since October following a separate incident in which he shot his girlfriend during an argument. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) Crime Laboratory analyzed the semi-automatic pistol Denson had at the time of his arrest and confirmed it was the same weapon used at the pool party. A search of Denson’s cell phone, conducted under a warrant, revealed a video of the pool party shooting and footage of Guha-Perry driving the vehicle.
A license plate reader at the apartment complex played a crucial role in advancing the investigation.
Guha-Perry is facing charges that include five counts of felony aggravated assault and one count of reckless endangerment. In addition to charges from the October incident, Denson is now also being charged with five counts of felony aggravated assault, one count of reckless endangerment, and unlawful felony gun possession related to the pool party shooting.
