On December 1, 2024, police say officers responded to a shooting at a club in the 900 block of Murfreesboro Pike in Nashville, Tennessee. Witnesses told law enforcement there was a heated argument before shots were fired at a vehicle with five people inside.
The driver reportedly pulled into an office building parking lot in the 1300 block of Murfreesboro Pike after realizing three women had been injured.
The three young women were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where one woman died. However, the other two teens were treated and released.
The victim was identified as 18-year-old Ashley Dominguez.
Officials said quick action by a Community Safety Center operator at The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) Headquarters helped capture video footage of the shooting and allowed for 15-year-old Yariel Sandoval to be developed as a suspect.
On December 18, coordination between its Homicide Unit detectives, TITANS Unit detectives, and Community Safety Center operators, as well as the Clarksville Police Department, led to Sandoval’s arrest.
Authorities said Sandoval was taken into custody in Clarksville on his outstanding warrants for criminal homicide, among other charges. However, the investigation is still ongoing with regard to other people potentially involved.
No additional details have been released about this case.
