NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A Tennessee man was charged Friday in the death of a nurse who was fatally shot while driving to work on Interstate 440 in Nashville, police said.
Devaunte Lewis Hill, 21, was arrested on charges including criminal homicide, Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake told news outlets.
He is charged in connection to the fatal shooting of Caitlyn Marie Kaufman, 26, on Dec. 3 as she traveled to work at St. Thomas West Hospital.
Kaufman was found shortly before 9 p.m. by a Metro Parks officer, who saw her vehicle on the right shoulder of I-440 against the guard rail and stopped thinking it was a crash site, police said. He discovered a woman was shot and called authorities. Kaufman died at the scene, police said.
Homicide Detective Christopher Dickerson told news outlets that he swore out an arrest warrant after getting a tip from a concerned citizen. He did not give a motive in the shooting and said Hill was a stranger to Kaufman.
It wasn't immediately clear whether Hill has an attorney.
