Two Teens Arrested in Madison Ambush Shooting

MADISON, TN — Metro Police arrested two 16-year-olds in connection to the Saturday ambush shooting that killed one man and critically injured the son of a Metro school board member. Police believe the two victims were targeted by the teenagers.

A witness told investigators that Roy Hunter, son of school board member Tyese Hunter, was sitting in the driver's seat of a car in a parking lot on the 1000 block of North Dupont Avenue, talking with Javonte Robinson, sitting in the passenger seat, and a third, unidentified man sitting in the backseat. As third man left the car and walked into a breezeway of a nearby apartment complex, two other men walked up to the car and began shooting.

Robinson died on the scene and police say Roy Hunter is at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in "extremely critical condition."

The shooters then pulled Hunter and Robinson from the black Infinity and drove off. The car was found abandoned on Rio Vista Drive.

Details about the suspects have not been released.
