Blind man beaten to death with fire extinguisher in Tennessee parking garage, cops say
A 49-year-old blind homeless man was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, police say.
Police arrested Brandon Brown, 32, on Monday morning just hours after the killing in a bus station parking garage, according to police.
Police said they originally went to the bus station at 2 a.m. to check on Brown, “who appeared to have been assaulted.”
He had a cut “above his eye and blood on his white sweater,” according to a police press release. He would not tell officers how he got hurt, police said. He was taken to a hospital to treat the wound, they said.
“Later in the morning, a security staff member at the bus station found the victim beaten to death on the 5th floor of the parking garage. The weapon used was a fire extinguisher,” police said.
”Brown implicated himself in the murder. The motive is unclear,” police said.
Brown is being held on a $1.2 million bond.
