    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man wanted for murder in connection with a deadly Fourth of July shooting in the Bordeaux neighborhood was taken into custody early Sunday morning after running a red light, authorities said.

    According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, 22-year-old Kejuan Jordan-Cole , who has been sought for months, ran the light on 12th Avenue South at Deford Bailey Avenue on Sunday, April 28.

    Officers from the Midtown Hills Precinct initiated a traffic stop on the 2020 Nissan Altima Jordan-Cole was driving, but he allegedly stopped, got out of the car, and took off running, sparking a foot chase. After law enforcement apprehended Jordan-Cole, they discovered he had an outstanding criminal homicide warrant.

    Authorities said Jordan-Cole is “one of several young adults and teens identified as taking part” in the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Christopher L. Harris at Overlook Apartments on July 4, 2023.

    Investigators said Harris was found with multiple gunshot wounds inside his vehicle along Buena Vista Pike. Witnesses told police a group of young men approached Harris and about seven of them opened fire.

    Harris was struck by the gunfire while standing next to his vehicle, with officers telling News 2 as many as 100 rounds may have been fired during the incident.
