More than two and half years since a 23-year-old man was shot in the basement of an abandoned Nashville home, a man is in custody.
A 19-year-old from Decatur, Alabama, learned he was wanted by Nashville police from Alabama authorities, according to a Sept. 18 statement from the Nashville Police Department. Decatur is less than two hours south of Nashville off Interstate 65.
The man turned himself in to Nashville police at their headquarters, the statement said.
The Tennessean is not naming the man, as he was 16 at the time of the shooting and is charged with criminal homicide in juvenile court.
Police said the man was visiting Nashville when he lured 23-year-old Jonathan Seda and Seda’s 18-year-old brother to the basement of a vacant home in the 3200 block of Crowe Drive for a suspected drug transaction.
During the meeting, Seda was shot dead and his brother suffered at least one gunshot wound.
Officers were alerted to the shooting when they found the 18-year-old on the sidewalk outside of the home. He told police there was another victim inside.
The 18-year-old was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he recovered. Seda was pronounced dead at the scene.
