NASHVILLE, Tenn. (NEWSnet/AP) — Police arrested a Tennessee man suspected of opening fire during Easter brunch at a Nashville restaurant, killing one person and injuring five more.
Anton Rucker was taken into custody Tuesday in Princeton, Kentucky, after Nashville police detectives located him at a residence there, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.
Rucker surrendered without incident and, on Wednesday, was being held in Kentucky’s Caldwell County jail on a fugitive warrant.
The shooting took place around 3 p.m. on Easter Sunday at a restaurant in Nashville’s Salemtown neighborhood after two men got into an argument that “significantly escalated within moments,” Nashville police spokesperson Don Aaron has said.
A 33-year-old was killed and five other people were injured.
Rucker was identified as a suspect from security video provided by the restaurant.
