NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Three suspects have been arrested and charged with multiple felonies for their connection to a shooting that left a woman injured last month in downtown Nashville, officials announced Thursday.

The shooting occurred outside of Club La Danse on Rosa L. Parks Boulevard at approximately 12:25 a.m. on April 12.

According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, security removed a man from the club for punching a woman, adding that the individuals removed from the club then got into a fight with security guards before going across the street and shooting toward the club.

The guards allegedly told police that they returned gunfire in self-defense. A 26-year-old woman, who was at a nearby hotdog stand, was struck in the leg by the gunfire, police said.

Earlier this month, authorities arrested 23-year-old Chance Vaughn for his connection to the shooting. He was charged with three counts of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and being a felon in possession of a weapon. According to MNPD, he remains jailed on a $135,000 bond.

Meanwhile, 23-year-old Devontez Wade was taken into custody on Tuesday, May 13 after he allegedly fled from detectives twice while on a motorcycle before he eventually surrendered on Enchanted Way.

Booking records show Wade was charged with three counts of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of felony evading arrest. He remains jailed on a $105,000 bond, officials said.

Authorities reported an investigation into the April incident remains under investigation. No additional details were released.
