NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Metro police are looking for the person involved in an attempted armed robbery in the Madison area that left one person dead.

Police said the incident happened around nine p.m. Saturday night at the Mission Madison Apartments at 501 Heritage Drive. A man walking to his car was approached by two people who then tried rob him. One of the robbers had a gun but so did the victim who shot and killed one of the robbers. The other would-be robber ran off.

Police believe the two may have also been involved in another robbery earlier at the Archwood Meadows apartment complex, also in Madison at 148 Archwood Place.

"Detectives are still following up on the possibility that both suspects were involved in a robbery that occurred prior to the shooting," said Preston Brandimore of Metro Police.

Officials said they hope to release a description of the robber that is still at large soon.

Rob enough people, and you will hit the wrong jackpot.

After?
Shouldn’t that be “During”?

I think “after” is likely accurate. The robber was dead after the attempt. As it takes a while for people to die, and the attempted robbery was probably over very quickly, it is likely that the robber actually died after the attempt.

Even if he died during the attempt, he still would have been dead after the attempt.

They have to hurry up and find out if the victim that killed the robber is white. They already know what color the dead robber is. Jackpot for the media if a white guy shot a black robber in the course of a crime. They can make it another railroad job and it could be front page news for the next month!!
