Isaiah Alexander Maston, a 30-year-old man, has been charged with criminal homicide following a shooting incident that occurred outside a KFC restaurant on Rosa L. Parks Boulevard in Nashville. The incident, which took place this afternoon, resulted in the death of a 40-year-old man. The victim’s identity is being withheld pending notification of his next of kin.
According to the investigation, Maston was outside the KFC with his bulldog when the victim and a female companion approached the entrance. The dog, which was not restrained, moved toward the couple. This led to a verbal confrontation between Maston and the victim, who subsequently walked away from the scene. Maston then allegedly fired multiple gunshots at the victim, who was later pronounced dead at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Following the incident, Maston was discovered by North Precinct Officer Keegan Winchell sitting on the steps of a nearby apartment. He was taken into custody without incident, and his dog was handed over to Metro Animal Control.
Maston faces charges of criminal homicide and aggravated assault, the latter concerning the female companion of the victim. He is currently held with a bond set at $210,000.
