A man turned himself in to police in Nashville early Saturday morning and will face murder and assault charges for a fatal shooting Friday in Hopkins County.
The Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office says 32-year old Dennis Stone of Madisonville shot and killed Nichole Merrell in the parking lot at the Ideal Market in Earlington. Merrell was holding a child who was also injured in the shooting.
Stone turned himself in to Metro Nashville Police and is awaiting extradition back to Hopkins County to face charges of murder, first degree assault and 12 counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.
