Nashville Man Charged with Attempted Murder in Drug-Related ShootingSource: Metropolitan Nashville Police Department

The streets of Nashville became the backdrop for a violent altercation on January 31, which came to a head at an apartment complex at 1613 Brentridge Circle, resulting in a 23-year-old woman with a gunshot wound and a 21-year-old man now facing a slew of charges. According to a statement made by the Nashville Police Department, responding officers found the woman injured from a bullet wound to her thigh, and she was quickly taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment.

Investigations into the incident uncovered that the man, Yanathan Furline, was allegedly at the victim's apartment to purchase marijuana, and during the interaction, he reportedly aimed a firearm at her and discharged it. The violence of the moment shattered the peace of the populated complex, endangering lives beyond his own and hers, as per the Nashville Police Department. Following the shooting, the investigation concluded that Furline then absconded with the marijuana, purportedly to sell it and profit from his actions.

Furline's reckless choices have led to serious legal repercussions; he is charged with attempted murder, aggravated robbery, gun possession during the commission of a felony, felony drug possession, and reckless endangerment, as stated in the official statement. He is currently detained, with bail set at a quarter of a million dollars, waiting for his actions in that apartment complex to be judged in the stark light of the courtroom.
