One person has died and another is in critical condition following a Tuesday night shooting in the area of Parkwood Park, according to Nashville police.

Tyreese Southern, 17, was fatally wounded in the shooting and died shortly after being transported to Skyline Medical Center.

The wounded 25-year-old man is believed to have crashed into an NES pole in the 3200 block of Vailview Drive and was taken by ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he remained in critical condition Wednesday morning.

Police said he has provided information that has helped with the investigation.

Shooting prompted by drug robbery

Madison precinct officers responded to the area off of Vailview Drive around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. Capt. Charles Widener said officers found two victims, both with critical injuries.

MNPD detectives believe that the injured man went to the residential area to sell marijuana to a 17-year-old girl.

Shortly after they met up, two males, one of whom is believed to have been Southern, approached the man's car and demanded his money and marijuana, police have said.

The injured man said he reached for his gun to defend himself, and both parties fired at each other.

The 17-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man were still at the scene when police arrived but refused to answer any questions from Madison Precinct detectives.

Police found two pistols at the scene, one near the fatally wounded teenager, one inside the injured man's car.

No charges have yet been filed.

The investigation is continuing.

This is a developing story.
