Rutherford/Murfreesboro: Suspect Wanted For Charges Related In Boy's Shooting

 

A man is wanted in connection with a shooting of a 4-year-old boy in Rutherford County, a Rutherford County Sheriff’s detective said Saturday.

Taliek Gallishaw King is wanted on charges of tampering with evidence and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon related to the boy’s shooting, said Detective Jesse Gammel.

Deputies and deputies responded to the scene where they found the boy suffered a gunshot wound early Saturday at a home on Tessa Grace Road. He was taken to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville where he underwent surgery. He is expected to survive.

“Investigators on-scene determined Taliek Gallishaw King fled the scene in an unknown vehicle shortly before law enforcement’s arrival and took the handgun used in the shooting with him,” Gammel said. “Investigators have yet to locate Taliek Gallishaw King and are asking for the public’s assistance in locating him.”

In an unrelated case, King is out on bond for attempted first-degree murder in Smyrna.

“He is presumed armed and dangerous,” Gammel said.
