NASHVILLE, Tenn. -
Metro police detectives Thursday night arrested 22-year-old admitted serial robber Akeem Forman for shooting a manager of a Nashville Dollar General while robbing the store Monday afternoon. Community assistance and surveillance video from the store on Bell Road greatly aided in the identification of Forman.
Forman was arrested and charged with especially aggravated robbery after an employee picked Forman out of a photo lineup.
Forman was found inside an apartment on Cane Ridge Road and taken into custody without incident. During questioning, Forman admitted to Monday's robbery and shooting, as well as recent robberies in Smyrna and Manchester.
In Monday's case, Forman entered the Dollar General store armed with a rifle.
He demanded money from two employees and fired several shots.
One of the rounds wounded manager Christina Sims, 27, in the right calf. She was treated at Southern Hills Medical Center.
Forman is being held in Nashville in lieu of $75,000 bond.
