Fatal Shooting After Riverdale Tennessee HS Graduation
17-year-old arrested in deadly Tennessee high school graduation shooting
1 dead, 1 hurt, 'person of interest' in custody
AP.19 MAY 2022.
Here's what we know about the fatal shooting at Middle Tennessee State University after the Riverdale High School graduation:
Murfreesboro officials identified the victim in a deadly shooting on Middle Tennessee State University's campus as 18-year-old Hasani Brewer, a 2021 Riverdale High graduate. Another victim was hurt in the shooting, but the Murfreesboro Police Department did not release their name because they are a minor.
Brewer was also known as Sunny Gant.
Spokesman for Murfreesboro Police Department Larry Flowers said a 17-year-old, whose identity is also being shielded, was taken into custody in Clarksville Thursday, Flowers said. He's facing a first-degree murder charge in juvenile court.
"Now the community can rest assured knowing we've got this criminal off the streets," Flowers said.
Shooting followed Riverdale High graduation ceremony
The shooting occurred shortly before 9 p.m., near the tennis courts next to the Murphy Center. It was after the graduation ceremony had concluded and people were leaving.
Rutherford County Schools spokesman James Evans said around 450 students were set to graduate at the ceremony and "several hundred" family members were in attendance.
