An 18-year-old man, Ahmed Falah, has been arrested in connection with a road rage incident that resulted in a shooting on Nolensville Pike in Nashville on February 8. The incident occurred on a Saturday morning, when Falah allegedly fired shots into a Toyota Yaris from his Infiniti sedan. The shooting took place in the 4000 block of Nolensville Pike just after 11 a.m. The passenger of the Yaris, a 26-year-old man, was injured with a gunshot wound to his knee, while the female driver remained unharmed.
Specialized Investigations Division TITANS detectives apprehended Falah after he attempted to flee from a traffic stop in his vehicle. Officers deployed a spike strip to deflate his car’s tires at Tusculum Road and Nolensville Pike. Falah then abandoned his vehicle in the 400 block of Brewer Drive, but was captured after a brief foot chase in the 5300 block of Nolensville Pike. A nine-millimeter pistol was recovered from his car during the arrest.
