Murfreesboro police have arrested who they believe to be the culprit in the Wednesday night shooting that left a 22-year-old man in the hospital, according to news releases from Murfreesboro Police Department.

Cory Bush, 22, of Murfreesboro was found shot multiple times Wednesday night, Jan. 24 on Greenland Drive.

On Thursday, officers arrested Emmett "Trey" Lyons III, 21, of Greenland Drive, and charged him with attempted first-degree murder.

Police responded around 6 p.m. to the 900 block of Greenland Drive to find the victim. Investigators believe the shooting occurred in the parking lot of the apartment complex at 902 Greenland Drive.

"He was found to have multiple wounds however he was able to run to this address (907 Greenland Drive) to seek aid," Officer Amy Norville said. 

Aid was rendered on scene by Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department personnel prior to the victim being transported by Rutherford County Emergency Medical Services to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, where he was being treated Wednesday night.  

Norville said the victim will not be identified at this time.

The investigation is in the preliminary stages and is ongoing at this time. 

More information will be released when it becomes available.
