Press release from the City of Nashville:

May 4, 2020

Madison Precinct detectives consider Tywan Smith, 19, to be armed and dangerous as they work to locate and arrest him on charges of attempted murder and felony vandalism.

Smith drove up to his former girlfriend’s home on Woodstock Drive just before 5 p.m. Saturday and found her sitting in a vehicle with a male friend. She and the male friend both got out and told Smith to leave. Detectives were told that after a brief exchange of words between the three, Smith pulled a semi-automatic pistol from his waistband and opened fire. Bullets hit the male in the hand and grazed his stomach. His vehicle was also hit by gunfire.

At the time of this shooting, Smith was free on $7,500 bond from a March arrest on charges of aggravated assault and felony vandalism stemming from a domestic dispute with his mother.

Anyone seeing Tywan Smith or knowing his whereabouts is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
