A man has been arrested in connection to a fatal shooting of a man Metro Police said was the boyfriend of a woman he previously dated.
Caleb Walker, 19, was taken into custody Monday afternoon in connection to the murder of Brandon Mullins, 32, in the parking lot of Union on Thompson Apartments, the Metro Nashville Police Department announced on its Twitter account.
Police said the confrontation between the two men took place overnight and was over Mullins' girlfriend, who had previously dated Walker.

The department responded to the apartment complex on Thompson Lane just after 3:00 a.m., FOX 17 News reports.
