A dispute between roommates in Nashville led to a fatal shooting. Police arrested 24-year-old Davis Owolo Jr., who is charged with killing his roommate, 33-year-old Johnia Ishan Wilson, at their Birchmill Point South home. The incident happened around 8:50 p.m. and was reportedly over whether Wilson had tried to enter Owolo's room while he was away, which Wilson denied, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.

Witnesses tried to intervene before the situation escalated, but gunfire broke out. Wilson was found dead at the top of the staircase. After the incident, Owolo and his girlfriend left the scene but turned themselves in at the Criminal Warrants Division the next morning, as reported by the Metro Nashville Police Department.

Owolo is being held without bond on a criminal homicide charge after a fatal incident related to a domestic dispute. Authorities are still investigating, and no further details have been released. Owolo has not made a public statement, and the Metro Nashville Police Department has not provided additional updates beyond confirming his surrender and charges.
