In the early morning of June 24, 2017, 14-year-old Clayton Gangji was fatally shot while sitting in a parked SUV at the intersection of Hadley Avenue and Old Hickory Boulevard in Nashville. Gangji was one of four people in the vehicle when a pistol discharged; the bullet passed through 19-year-old Zachary Able’s hand before striking Gangji. Both boys were taken to Summit Medical Center, where Gangji died.

Able initially told police the occupants had been victims of a robbery, but detectives found inconsistencies and later interviewed him again. He then admitted his first statement was false and acknowledged that he was handling the firearm when it went off. Following that admission, Able was arrested and charged with criminal homicide in connection with Gangji’s death.

Are there details about the night or the people in the vehicle that anyone from the area can help clarify for the investigation?
