An early Sunday altercation at an Old Hickory residence escalated into a fatal shooting incident, leaving two men deceased. According to WKRN, the incident transpired around 3:30 a.m. on Fields Drive when an argument broke out during a social gathering. Steven Gutierrez, 41, reportedly shoved a 19-year-old man amidst the dispute.
Retaliating, the unidentified 19-year-old allegedly drew a firearm and shot Gutierrez multiple times, as stated by authorities. Following the conflagration, Gutierrez was transported to TriStar Skyline Medical Center. Suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, he was pronounced dead, running away with his life following the heated exchange.
The Metro Nashville Police Department is actively investigating the sequence of events that led to the subsequent injury of the 19-year-old suspect.
