NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Metro Police are working to identify a gunman who allegedly fired a shot toward a Nashville bar in late March.

Detectives said the man fired shots toward the front of the Red Door Saloon, 1816 Division St., striking an innocent bystander seated inside the bar.

The injuries to the bystander’s leg were not life-threatening.

The investigation shows the suspect was involved in a fight inside the bar, police said. The individuals involved were asked to leave by security guards.

Shortly after he was asked to leave, the gunman returned, walked up to the front of the business and began firing into the front door, according to police. After he fired, the suspect walked down Division Street firing into the air and later fled in a silver Infiniti SUV, police said.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to call Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
