A Nashville resident, James Claybrooks, aged 22, who was previously released on a $40,000 bond following an arrest for aggravated robbery, has been detained again. This time, he is charged in connection with a shooting that took place on October 18th. The incident occurred at the intersection of 46th Avenue North and Charlotte Avenue, resulting in critical injuries to a teenage male passenger.
Specialized Investigations Division detectives identified Claybrooks as the driver of the suspect vehicle, which pursued the victims in a Ford Focus along Charlotte Avenue. During the pursuit, a passenger in Claybrooks’ vehicle fired shots at the Ford as both cars crossed the intersection. The 23-year-old female driver of the Ford was unharmed, while the rear male passenger, aged 18, was critically injured. The suspect vehicle was later tracked to Lebanon with the aid of a License Plate Reader (LPR) hit, which significantly advanced the investigation. Detectives are actively following substantial leads about the shooter.
