Three Persons Arrested for Thursday Night's Gunfire in the Napier-Sudekum Neighborhood that Wounded

An exchange of gunfire by multiple persons in the Napier-Sudekum neighborhood Thursday night led to an uninvolved 13-year-old being hit in the buttocks, three arrests, and the seizure of six guns.

The 13-year-old reported that he and a friend had gone to play basketball at an outdoor court when the gunfire started. He received a non-critical graze wound and was driven to the hospital by his mom.

Undercover TITANS (The Investigative Team Addressing Neighborhood Shootings) detectives were already in the Napier area as part of their investigation into a shooting Wednesday night on Maroney Drive in Antioch. They were on the scene quickly and were able to locate and detain three of the shooters as they ran into apartments.

Alhagie J. Camara, 21, is charged with felony reckless endangerment and unlawful gun possession by a convicted felon (Camara was convicted in Rutherford County of felony evading stemming from a 2019 arrest). At the time of his arrest last night, Camara was free on a $25,000 bond stemming from the armed carjacking of a 64-year-old man in Green Hills in October 2019. At the time of the carjacking arrest, Camara was free on a $5,000 bond stemming from a May 2019 arrest on auto theft and felony evading charges. His court date on the 2019 cases is set for March 31. A judicial commissioner set Camara’s bond on the latest charges at $75,000. The TITANS team will be asking the United States Attorney’s Office to charge Camara federally for the gun crimes Thursday evening.

The two others arrested Thursday night on felony reckless endangerment and unlawful gun possession charges are Ronald Tibbs, 21, and Dartanyan Loney, 19. A judicial commissioner set bond for Tibbs at $27,500. Loney’s bond is $22,500. Felony oxycodone and marijuana charges will be served on Loney later today.

Search warrants were executed on two Napier apartments Thursday night. Recovered were six guns, numerous magazines, a ballistic vest and varying amounts of illegal drugs.

This investigation is continuing.
