TN: Nashville Gunfight; Victim Surrendered to Police, Claims Self Defense

According to police, 23-year-old Edrick Doak told detectives he shot 29-year-old Bryan T. Lewis because he believed Lewis was about to shoot him. Lewis died after being taken to a nearby hospital.

Police said the investigation shows that Doak was carrying a box of canned goods to an apartment from his car. Then Lewis rode up on a scooter and accused Doak of shooting him on a previous date, according to police.

Doak denied it, according to police. Then Lewis got off his scooter and appeared to pull a gun from his waistband, police said. Doak dropped the box of canned goods and pulled his own gun and shot Lewis, police said.

Doak ran away and later surrendered at Metro Police headquarters.

During an interview with a detective, Doak said he received word from others that Lewis was going to kill him.
