Emanuel Kidega Samson, 25, of La Vergne, Tennessee, was charged with felony homicide and was being held without bond. Other charges are coming later, police said. His next court appearance is Wednesday.
The Justice Department and FBI have opened a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting, and police said they were still trying to establish the suspect’s motive.
Local police also requested the assistance of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to run an “urgent trace” on a firearm, an ATF representative told CNN.
The trace would give authorities an indication of where the gun was purchased, who purchased it and whether it was purchased legally, the ATF representative said.
Church members told police that Samson attended the church one to two years ago, Metropolitan Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron. But they had not seen him in a while and did not immediately recognize him because the gunman was masked.
Police initially said the suspect was African-American but later identified him as Sudanese with legal US residency.

At this point, what difference would that make?
“How is this the least bit relevant? So he is African-African. That sheds so much light on this event.”
It’s accuracy.
He is Sudanese, not American. Not a citizen.
He’s from Sudan.
I saw that he came over when he was 5.
The “getting support from the church’ sounds plausible. When they cut off the free money, he felt disrespected. Our church supported a bunch of people from the town trailer park and they only hung around while the money was flowing. When it stopped, they got indignant and went elsewhere.
In case it came from overseas.
Information that is not contained in ANY article I’ve read about this is this man’s employer, if he had one or how he paid rent, where he lived, family, friends, neighbors, fellow employees, interviews with the people at the gym where he worked out, was there a specific gym where he worked out? And so on.
The media is absolutely silent about this. Why?
This report on a church shooting from a tv station offers speculations but fails to in the first sentence to identify the church.
According to the Sharia codex God has approved the use of deception and deceit along with the use of murder when dealing with non believers.

My point is that the leftist media feels the need to differentiate between African American and African African.
It’s just part of their agenda.
