Metro Nashville Police have announced the arrest of a suspect in the shooting of a Nashville nurse.

 

21-year-old Devaunte L. Hill was taken into custody by a SWAT team this morning from his East Nashville apartment for the shooting of nurse, Caitlyn Kaufman on December 3. Reports show Hill and Kaufman did not know each other.
