A Tennessee man has been arrested for allegedly beating a blind homeless man to death with a fire extinguisher near a Nashville bus stop.

Brandon Brown, 32, has been charged with criminal homicide in the death of 49-year-old David Warren, who was found murdered on Monday morning.

Brown's other charges include resisting arrest, aggravated trespass and assault of officer. His bond has been set at $1.2million.

Nashville police initially responded at 2am to a report of Brown being assaulted, according to a department statement cited by WKRN.

They arrived to find that he had a small cut near his eye and blood on his white sweater. He was taken to Nashville General Hospital for treatment and didn't provide any 'pertinent' information on how he was injured, according to the statement.

Hours later, at 5.30am, a security guard found Warren's body on the fifth level of the parking garage of the Music City Central bus station on Charlotte Avenue. The sealed-off scene above

Hours later, at 5.30am, a security guard found Warren's body on the fifth level of the parking garage of the Music City Central bus station on Charlotte Avenue.

Officers went to question Brown, but found he had already been discharged from the hospital.

He was later spotted by officers near a park and taken in for questioning, during which he implicated himself in the homeless man's killing, police say.

There is no word at this time on a possible motive.

Online records indicate that Brown has a past criminal history that includes charges of domestic assault and probation violation.
