In the spring of 2016 a fatal shooting outside a Hooters parking lot in south Nashville ended the life of 18-year-old Hagan Newland. Police say the April 2, 2016 encounter began as a drug deal that turned into a robbery, and Newland was shot and killed during the incident.

Two teens were arrested in the case. Lorenzo Monte-Gail Avila, 18 at the time, admitted to driving the getaway vehicle after the shooting. Larenz Lumpkin, then 17, was indicted on felony murder and especially aggravated robbery. A jury convicted Lumpkin of voluntary manslaughter and especially aggravated robbery and imposed an effective sentence of 20 years; on appeal the voluntary manslaughter conviction was reduced to reckless homicide while the 20-year sentence for especially aggravated robbery was upheld, and the matter was returned to the lower court for resentencing on the reduced count. Avila also faced felony murder charges, testified at Lumpkin’s trial, and his case was later closed after a sentence hearing.

Are there details about the April 2 meeting or anyone present in the parking lot that could help clarify what happened?
