14-Year-Old Killed In 'Targeted' Shooting: Nashville Police

NASHVILLE, TN — A 14-year-old died after what police believe was a "targeted" shooting in Bordeaux Friday morning.

Tirell Hall, who police said escaped from state custody in Antioch two weeks ago, died after he was shot numerous times on Phipps Drivc around 11:20 a.m. Friday. Witnesses told police they heard seven to 10 shots and that Hall was on the street when he was hit. He was taken to a hospital where he died.

Detectives say Hill was shot by someone who got out of a black Nissan Altima with dark tinted windows and a spoiler on the trunk. Hill did not have any known ties to the area and witnesses suggested that the shooter or shooters were unfamiliar with the neighborhood, as they drove down a dead-end in an attempt to flee.
