Nashville Police arrest two after one killed, two injured in shooting outside hookah bar
Nashville police arrested two men after one man was killed and two others were injured in a Monday shooting as they left a Nolensville Pike hookah bar.
Sadiq Al-Sahaf, 23, and 22-year-old Mohammed Al-Rabiey were each charged Tuesday evening with criminal homicide and three counts of attempted criminal homicide in connection with the shooting, Metro Nashville Police said in a statement on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
Ahmed Amran, 22, died just before 3 a.m. Monday after someone shot into his car as he left the hookah bar. As he tried to flee, Amran crashed the car into the front of a vape shop in a small strip mall in the 2600 block of Nolensville Pike, a block from the hookah bar.
Two passengers were also injured. One, with a gunshot to the back, was taken from the scene to Vanderbilt University Medical Center by paramedics, Nashville Police said. The second was shot in the leg and was taken to Southern Hills Medical Center by private car before he was transferred to Vanderblt.
A third passenger was uninjured in the shooting.
Video footage showed Al-Sahaf following Amran from inside the hookah bar to their cars, according to his arrest affidavit. Video also showed Al-Rabiey then retrieve what police believe to be an AK-style firearm from Al-Sahaf's car.
Al-Sahaf rushed Amran's car, and then gunfire began, the affidavit said. Amran fled in his car and both Al-Sahaf and Al-Rabiey got in the car and fled the scene as well, the court record said.
Al-Sahaf and Al-Rabiey were being held without bond Wednesday in the Downtown Detention Center.

Country Singer Conner Smith Named in Death of 77-Year-Old Woman
A 77-year-old woman later identified as Dorothy Dobbins was killed after she was struck by a vehicle on 3rd Avenue North near Van Buren Street in Nashville on June 8. A statement from the Metro Nashville Police Department on Monday, June 9 stated that a 24-year-old man named Conner Smith was behind the wheel during Sunday's accident. Smith, 24, was allegedly driving a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck when he hit Dobbins, who was crossing the roadway. "It appears that she was inside a marked crosswalk when she was struck around 7:30 p.m. Dobbins, who lived nearby, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she died," the statement from the Metro Nashville Police Department said. "The preliminary contributing factor for this crash appears to be Smith failing to yield the right of way to the pedestrian." Smith showed no signs of impairment at the time of the accident and no charges have been filed, though the investigation remains ongoing. Smith's attorney Worrick G. Robinson told Billboard in a statement: 'On June 8th, Mr. Smith was involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life. His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins' family during this incredibly difficult time. Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.' The Nashville native first broke through in 2021, when his song 'I Hate Alabama' went viral on TikTok. He later issued the EP Didn't Go Too Far in 2022 and followed with the singles 'Learn From It' and 'Take It Slow.' Smith's biggest hit came in 2024 with 'Creek Will Rise,' which entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 89 and rose to No. 12 on the Country Airplay Singer Conner Smith Named in Death of 77-Year-Old Woman first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 10, 2025
