Four Teens Charged in Shooting Death of 16-Year-Old Cameron Frierson After Nashville Football Game
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It took six weeks. On Friday, October 2, Metro Nashville police announced what Cameron Frierson's family has been waiting to hear since August: detectives have arrested four teenagers in connection with the August 21 shooting death of the 16-year-old.
Frierson was shot on Herman Street near 25th Avenue North, near Pearl-Cohn High School, after a nearby high school football game. His parents previously told WSMV their son was "truly being a kid" that night — and his mother pleaded publicly for witnesses to come forward.
The charges
All four defendants — ages 16, 17, 17, and 18 — are charged with criminal homicide and engaging in a criminal conspiracy, Metro Nashville police announced on X. Their names had not been released as of Friday morning.

What's next
The case is now with prosecutors. Given the conspiracy charge, expect investigators to keep digging — four arrests on day one of charges usually means they believe more of the story is still to come.
