Two other men were also hurt in the shooting, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department. It happened around 9:20 p.m. in the 200 block of Jenna Lee Circle. No suspect was in custody as of Thursday night.

The 29-year-old was accompanied by 32-year-old friend Ronald Russell at the scene, according to MNPD. Police said the two were attempting a robbery of another man, which led to shots being fired.
