NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) -- Nashville authorities took a man into custody Wednesday in connection with a shooting that left two people injured last month.

The Metro Nashville Police Department said the shooting took place along Lafayette Street on Aug. 2. Two men sustained a single gunshot wound each and were treated at the hospital.

Several weeks later, officials announced 27-year-old Jessie Knowles, a convicted felon, had been identified as one of the shooters "seen on surveillance cameras approaching the two victims on the sidewalk before firing at them during a brief interaction."

According to law enforcement, Knowles fled from TITANS Unit detectives on Wednesday, Sept. 17, but he was eventually apprehended. Police reportedly recovered marijuana and a stolen pistol -- the same gun used in the Aug. 2 shooting -- from his backpack.

As of Thursday, Sept. 18, authorities said Knowles is being held in the Downtown Detention Center on a $190,000 bond, charged with two counts of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, possession of a weapon as a felon, and gun and drug offenses from his arrest.

Meanwhile, officials said they're still working to find the second shooting suspect.

No additional details have been released about the circumstances surrounding last month's shooting.
