“The preliminary investigation revealed the driver of the gray Nissan was also suffering from a gunshot wound,” MPD said in the statement. “The cause of the ****** and the location of the initial ********* are still under investigation.”

The Tennessee Highway Patrol is investigating the ****** and MPD’s ********* bureau is investigating the *********.

In an update posted to social media Friday morning, MPD said the initial ********* happened near South Parkway East and Mississippi Boulevard, about 2 miles away from where the ****** happened.

“Preliminary information indicates there was a disagreement between the deceased male ********* victim and a male at the scene on S. Parkway E.,” MPD said. “No charges have been filed, and the investigation is ongoing.”
