Metro police responded to a call of four people shot Sunday night in the Wedgewood-Houston area of Nashville, in the 100 block of Rains Avenue near the Nashville Speedway.

A Nashville police news release said Midtown Hills Precinct detectives are trying to determine why a Red Nissan Sentra was targeted by gunfire as it traveled onto Rains Avenue from Wedgewood Avenue just after 7 p.m.

According to the release, four people in the Sentra were wounded. The driver, Dameisha Clark, 20, and the front seat passenger, Kayla Blakley, 25, received non-critical wounds. The rear-seat passengers, Michael Shaw, 32, and Michael Myers Jr., 25, were critically injured. All are being treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Clark, Blakley, and Shaw are from Nashville. Myers is from Memphis.

Detectives were told that persons in a black sedan with custom rims came up alongside the Sentra and opened fire with a rifle, according to the release.
