A Metro Nashville councilman remained hospitalized Thursday after being shot multiple times near a West Nashville gas station, according to The Tennessean.
District 1 Metro Councilman Loniel Greene, Jr. was in stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center after suffering non life-threatening gunshot wounds to the chest, elbow and shoulder shortly before 10:15 p.m., police said.
A motive in the shooting remained under investigation and as of mid-Thursday morning no arrest in the shooting had taken place, Lt. Scott Byrd said.
Officers responded at 10:12 p.m. to the Marathon gas station & market at 301 White Bridge Road for a report of a man on the ground in the parking lot, police spokesman Don Aaron said.
Arriving officers found Greene on the ground between his SUV and a gas pumps. Emergency personnel then transported Greene, 34, to the hospital in stable condition.
A review of surveillance video in the area shows Greene pull into the gas station lot from Burgess Avenue at 9:58 p.m., just as two young men are walking out of the lot.
Greene then parked his SUV beside one of the gas pumps, got out and followed the two men up Burgess Avenue and then onto Oceola Avenue.
Shell casings found on Oceola Avenue indicate the shooting took place there, Aaron said. A short time later, Greene walked back to his parked vehicle at the Marathon gas station and apparently collapsed.
