Suspect charged in shooting that left 1 injured, another paralyzed at Nashville strip club
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Authorities have arrested a suspect involved in a shooting outside of a Nashville club that left one victim paralyzed.
The shooting happened at approximately 2:40 a.m. outside of Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in the 800 block of Rep. John Lewis Way on Wednesday, April 9.
Officials at the scene told News 2 two men were sitting inside a red Cadillac XTS in the parking lot when the shooting occurred.

The Metro Nashville Police Department said both men inside the Cadillac were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with critical but non-life-threatening injuries. One man sustained a gunshot wound to his right thigh, while the other man suffered four gunshot wounds, including one that struck his spine, paralyzing him from the waist down.
An arrest report now reveals the moments that led up to the shooting. Police said surveillance footage showed a group of people walk pass the Cadillac, which is when one of the victims rolled down the passenger window and said 'how you doing?' to one of the women in the group.
One of the men in the group—identified as 30-year-old Javonte McCree-Brown— then stated 'that was his girl.' The victim said he apologized and rolled the window back up.
However, McCree-Brown reportedly went to a Black Dodge Charger and got something from the passenger compartment. Officials said video then captured McCree-Brown walk back to the Cadillac and open fire on the passenger side of the vehicle.
The 30-year-old then fled the scene in the Charger, according to an arrest report. Officers said they learned that McCree-Brown was inside the club before the shooting occurred and had to scan his ID before entering, which helped identify him as the suspect.
Metro police said McCree-Brown is a convicted felon for felony charges out of Michigan and is prohibited from possessing a firearm.

Booking records show he is being held in Metro Jail on a $305,000 bond.
