A Nashville man, Keandre Johnson, who was on electronic monitoring due to previous charges involving fentanyl, cocaine, and gun possession, has been arrested again. Johnson, 27, is accused of the October 14 shooting of a 19-year-old man on S. 13th Street. The victim was shot in the side, and Johnson’s ankle monitor placed him at the scene of the crime, helping detectives in their investigation.
Johnson was apprehended by Specialized Investigations Division TITANS detectives at Cheatham Place Apartments on 9th Avenue North. Earlier this year, on March 21, Johnson was arrested on S. 7th Street, carrying a fully automatic pistol, fentanyl, and cocaine. His bond was reduced from $83,000, and he was released on an ankle monitor.
The new charges against Johnson include felony aggravated assault, felony reckless endangerment, gun possession during the commission of a dangerous felony, unlawful possession of a gun by a convicted felon, and felony evading arrest. Johnson is currently held in jail with a bond set at $191,000.
