NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) -- A man has been arrested for homicide in connection with a shooting that happened near Belmont University's campus last week.

According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, around 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 14, officers arrived at the intersection of Wedgewood Avenue and 16th Avenue South, where they found a black Nissan Altima that had crashed into a tree.

Officials said 26-year-old Dana Corley, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds, was found sitting in the driver's seat of the Nissan and pronounced dead at the scene. Shots were reportedly heard in the area between 10:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 13.
