Suspect in councilman’s shooting arrested in MS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Nashville authorities say a man suspected in the November shooting of Metro Councilman Loniel Greene has been arrested in Mississippi after an unrelated incident.
In a news release Monday, Metro police said that 19-year-old Brandon Hunt-Clark was arrested in Grenada, Mississippi, where he’s facing a charge of armed robbery.
Authorities say he is accused of robbing the Grenada Inn on Dec. 10. He’s being held in jail on bond.
A month before, Greene was shot after stopping at a Nashville gas station on Nov. 4. Police publicly named Hunt-Clark as a suspect in the shooting. Nashville authorities have been looking for Hunt-Clark since a warrant for his arrest on a charge of felony aggravated assault was issued Nov. 10.
Nashville police have placed a hold/extradition request with Grenada authorities.
