Detectives from the TITANS unit made a move on Tuesday, arresting 34-year-old Gerald Page on charges related to a shooting that occurred last Friday on Fain Street. Page, who has past drug felony convictions, was apprehended on University Court, with the Nashville Police Department's website reporting the incident in detail.
The victim, a 43-year-old man, described his ordeal, saying he was en route to a barbeque when the sound of multiple gunshots broke through the air. One of these shots found its mark, striking him in the leg. He received medical care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. In what seems to be a twist of irony, the intention behind the gathering of the victim was headed to a barbecue stand in stark contrast to the violence that unfolded.
Non-Lethal Shooting detectives have claimed that the shooting appears to have been retaliatory. According to their investigation, there was likely a personal vendetta that fueled this act of gunfire. However, the details of this backstory remain unclear, kept within the confines of the ongoing investigation and the minds of those entangled in the dispute.
Page faces several charges, which include attempted homicide, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony, and being a felon in possession of a weapon. Despite the gravity of the moment when he allegedly pulled the trigger, Page now faces the consequences within the bounds of a system that deals in the currency of law and order. His bond is set at $150,000, and he currently remains in jail.
