NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Nashville authorities took a man into custody Wednesday in connection with a shooting that left two people injured last month.
The Metro Nashville Police Department said the shooting took place along Lafayette Street on Aug. 2. Two men sustained a single gunshot wound each and were treated at the hospital.

Several weeks later, officials announced 27-year-old Jessie Knowles, a convicted felon, had been identified as one of the shooters “seen on surveillance cameras approaching the two victims on the sidewalk before firing at them during a brief interaction.”
According to law enforcement, Knowles fled from TITANS Unit detectives on Wednesday, Sept. 17, but he was eventually apprehended. Police reportedly recovered marijuana and a stolen pistol — the same gun used in the Aug. 2 shooting — from his backpack.
As of Thursday, Sept. 18, authorities said Knowles is being held in the Downtown Detention Center on a $190,000 bond, charged with two counts of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, possession of a weapon as a felon, and gun and drug offenses from his arrest.
