A late-night argument at Lucky’s Bar & Grill on Stewarts Ferry Pike in Donelson turned deadly on August 27, 2022. Christopher Dewaun Johnson, 45, known as C-Loc, was shot during an exchange of gunfire inside the bar and later died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Two other patrons, a 43-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, were also wounded and were expected to survive.

Witnesses reported both men drew firearms and shot at each other. A 39-year-old man, Gregory Dotson, later spoke with Homicide Unit detectives and admitted firing his weapon, saying he returned fire after Johnson allegedly shot at him first. Dotson was not injured and, as of the latest information, no charges have been filed while detectives prepare their findings for the District Attorney’s Office.

What did anyone in the Donelson area see or hear that night that could clarify who fired first and how the exchange began?
