Police responded to reports of gunfire on the 900 block of Blank Street in North Nashville around 7:45 a.m. Monday. The shooting prompted an investigation.
Metro police told WKRN News 2 that officers found a man with at least one gunshot wound to his back and took him to an area hospital. Police said he is expected to survive. WKRN reported at 11:39 a.m. that further details had not been released at that time.
Investigation Still in Early Stages
Metro police have not said what led up to the shooting or whether anyone has been identified in connection with it. The station's report makes clear that an investigation into the North Nashville shooting is underway, but stops short of naming a suspect, a motive, or the victim himself.
A separate shooting was reported on the 900 block of Blank Street on Jan. 13, 2026. A man was shot in the leg in that incident.
How Earlier Blank Street Cases Differ
WSMV reported that police booked Juwaun Martindale, 33, in connection with the Jan. 13 shooting and that he faced charges of felony assault, felony weapon possession with intent, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. In that incident, a man was shot in the leg; in the current case, police had not identified anyone in connection with the shooting, according to WKRN's report.
Earlier Blank Street Shooting Led to Arrest
In another case, Metro police responded to a shooting at Andrew Jackson Courts on Blank Street shortly before 3:30 p.m. on July 7, according to WKRN News 2. The report said a man was found shot and investigators found several shell casings nearby.
Harvell was booked into Metro jail on Monday, July 13, on three felony charges, including attempted criminal homicide, with his bond set at $400,000. The evidence does not establish any connection between that case, the February shooting, or Monday's shooting, and each has been treated by police as a separate incident on the same block.
For now, the latest shooting remains under investigation, with Metro police offering no word on an arrest or a motive. WKRN News 2 said it would update its report as new details emerge.
