According to investigators with the Nashville Police Department, several people had gathered at the apartment complex along Lebanon Pike. As the night went on, a heated verbal argument suddenly turned into a physical brawl between people in the crowd.
Things escalated way too fast before anyone could calm the situation down. Someone pulled a gun and opened fire, striking Luis in the middle of the chaos and turning a peaceful night into a terrifying scene.
