The Metro Nashville Police Department is investigating two separate fatal shootings involving young women, raising concerns around safety and domestic violence in the area.
In one incident on Tuesday morning, 62-year-old Mahmoud Z. Al-Bunni was shot and killed by his girlfriend, 20-year-old Hailey J. Hall, in their Bellevue apartment. The shooting occurred in the 6900 block of Highway 70 South. A male roommate returned home and discovered Hall standing at the doorway of the bedroom while Al-Bunni lay unresponsive on the floor. Following the discovery, the roommate promptly called 911 just after 7:30 a.m. Hall allegedly confessed to the roommate that she had shot Al-Bunni but did not provide further details when speaking with detectives. She has since been arrested, and her bond is set at $100,000.
In a separate incident, a 20-year-old man, Amare Ramey, has been charged with two counts of criminal homicide related to the fatal shooting of his pregnant girlfriend, 17-year-old Amya Finney. The shooting occurred on Bixler Avenue on Sunday morning. Finney reportedly called her mother requesting a ride from Ramey’s home due to a disagreement between the couple; however, the call abruptly disconnected. Shortly after, a 911 hang-up call was received. Responders found Finney in a bedroom suffering from a gunshot wound to her abdomen. She was transported to Skyline Medical Center, where she later succumbed to her injuries. Ramey later turned himself in at the North Precinct, claiming he was handling the gun when it discharged. He informed law enforcement that Finney was two months pregnant with his child. Notably, there had been no documented history of domestic violence between the couple. Ramey is currently being held on a bond of $1 million and has a previous criminal history, including arrests for aggravated burglary, carjacking, and aggravated assault.
These two tragedies highlight the alarming trend of gun violence involving young individuals, particularly in intimate relationships. Authorities in Nashville urge anyone experiencing domestic troubles to seek assistance from local resources, and the police continue to investigate both cases to provide clarity and justice for the victims and their families.
