November 28, 2023 – The investigation into Monday night’s gunfire on S. 7th Street in East Nashville’s Cayce Homes that left three persons wounded shows that it all originated from a dispute between two men over a woman.
Anthony Caldwell, 25, reported that he was invited by a woman he was dating to her Cayce Homes apartment. Caldwell said when he knocked on her door, he was met by a man, Malik Bradford, 26, who pointed a gun at him and referenced that he, too, had been in a relationship with the woman. Caldwell admitted to then drawing his own gun and exchanging shots with Bradford. Bradford was hit multiple times and was found by responding officers outside the apartment. He was rushed to Vanderbilt Medical Center in critical condition. Caldwell drove from the scene to 39th Avenue in West Nashville. He called 911 to say that he had been shot in the leg. Caldwell was transported from there to Vanderbilt.
The third shooting victim, a 30-year-old woman, had driven to Cayce Homes to visit a friend. She had made a wrong turn and pulled over to call her friend when she heard shots. One of the bullets hit her in the shoulder area. She drove a short distance from the housing development to Nissan Stadium from where help was called. She was treated at Vanderbilt and was discharged today.
Detectives have not yet had the opportunity to interview Bradford due to his medical condition. Charges in relation to the gunfire are pending the completion of the investigation and a review by the District Attorney’s Office.
