Metro Nashville police say two men involved in a mid-October shootout on Hickory Hollow Terrace are now in custody, with a third man also charged when officers located one shooting suspect.[1] Police say Calvin Howse Jr., 22, met Terrance Martin, 24, to buy marijuana on Hickory Hollow Terrace.[1] The two allegedly argued and then exchanged gunfire.[1] Howse was shot in the mouth and hospitalized, while Martin fled.[1] On Tuesday, police located Martin at a Bell Road gas station, where he was a passenger in a vehicle driven by Paul Cowling, 22.[1] Cowling attempted to run and discarded a firearm but was quickly arrested.[1] Howse was arrested after his hospital discharge this week on firearm and marijuana charges.[1]
Officers recovered the discarded gun, a pistol allegedly possessed by Martin and more than 200 grams of marijuana from the vehicle.[1] Martin is charged with attempted criminal homicide and firearm and drug offenses, plus violating bond conditions tied to domestic-violence charges.[1] Martin remains jailed on a $278,000 bond.[1] Cowling faces firearm and drug charges, with bond set at $20,000.[1] Howse remains jailed on an $80,000 bond.[1] The shooting victim was found with a gunshot wound to the mouth and taken to a local hospital.[2] Police said the wounded man is expected to survive.[2]
Police say the shooting happened in a parking lot in the Hickory Hollow Parkway area after the victim and another man argued.[2] Two women were previously charged with tampering with evidence in connection with the shooting.[1] The two women facing evidence-tampering charges are Karma Day and Braylee McDonald, who investigators say were in the area during the shooting.[2] McDonald later admitted picking up a black firearm magazine and throwing it into a wooded area that detectives searched without finding it.[2] Warrants had been issued for the hospitalized victim’s arrest on weapon allegations once released from hospital.[2]
