NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Authorities have identified two teenagers that were found shot and killed earlier this week along a wooded trail near Percy Priest Lake. Now, authorities are offering a cash reward for any information regarding the murders.

According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, a resident discovered the bodies Monday morning while walking along a trail between the Lincoya Bay Apartments and Percy Priest Lake.
