48-year-old Gregory Forrest was caught tampering with evidence after a shooting at Lyric’s Lounge on Fort Campbell on July 28th. On that day, a call was made because of a shooting. Tikeoreus Gold and Raquel Brooks were both shot during the incident. Gold passed away at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center later on due to his injuries. The following day, officers interviewed Eric McCoin, who was at the scene of the shooting. During the interview, he never mentioned shooting at anyone or even having a gun. On July 31st, officers interviewed Michael Johnson and Forrest, who are security personnel at the location. Neither of them mentioned anything about being given a gun by McCoin. On August 7th, officers spoke with McCoin again due to a gun holster being found in his car. McCoin advised he shot at Brooks and then gave the gun to Johnson. Officers then spoke with Johnson at his residence about the gun, and he advised that he gave the gun to Forrest. Officers called Forrest that same day, but he did not answer. Forrest later called officers back on August 9th and stated that Johnson had given him the gun while they were on their way back to Nashville the night of the shooting. He claimed that he threw the gun out the passenger side window onto I-24 between exit 19 and exit 24. A search of the area was conducted, and no firearm was found. A warrant was later issued, and Forrest was taken into custody for tampering with evidence on August 14th.
