Disturbing video shows a victim screaming out in pain after a teen opened fire during a wild brawl at a Nashville, Tennessee park, killing a 13-year-old boy and wounding his 16-year-old sister.
Two groups of teenagers met in the parking lot of Red Caboose Park in the city’s Bellevue Park neighborhood shortly before 8 p.m. to settle an some ongoing beef between the groups, the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department said.
In a harrowing video posted on social media that reportedly shows the chaotic moments leading up to the shooting, two teenage girls can be seen fighting on a lawn as a large crowd eggs them on.
Suddenly several gunshots ring out through the ruckus and the crowd suddenly turns silent as everyone runs for their lives.
The video goes dark as the shooting starts.
A person can be heard screaming out in pain and repeatedly yelling “I got hit! I got hit! I got hit!”
More gunshots ring out.
“Get in the car! Get in the car,” a female can be heard urgently saying, as the victim continues to cry out in agony.
The wounded 16-year-old girl made it to a fire station up the street from the park and reported the shooting to firefighters stationed there, who then called cops and began treating her, according to police.
Police quickly arrived at the scene and saw the girl’s brother, 13-year-old Aayden Hayes, lying in the parking lot pavement with multiple gunshot wounds.
He was rushed to the hospital where he died, police said.
The girl, who was not identified, was also taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.
Police found an a suspect, later identified by authority as 15-year-old De’Anthony Osasosifo, walking along the highway about a half mile up the road from the park and took him into custody.
In an interview with investigators, he admitted to having the gun and shooting it during the fight.
The gun was later located by an ATF sniffer dog along the route Osasosifo had fled.
The 9mm semi-automatic pistol was reported stolen from a vehicle in Murfreesboro in 2023.
Principal Seth Swihart at Bellevue Middle School told WKRN that Aayden had just graduated eighth grade when he was killed.
“Aayden had many friends and was a kind and caring student who was easy to like and get along with,” he aid.
“Our heart breaks for his family, friends, and for this community who have lost a young person to gun violence.”
