Oops, Wrong House: Nashville police say a 21-year-old home

invasion robbery suspect was fatally wounded by 1 of his victims.

Elijah Minnard’s 17-year-old armed accomplice was apprehended

after he fled the home, according to police. His charges include

aggravated robbery and unlawful weapon possession. The two home

invasion victims are Dennis Clay Nicholson, 22, and Lincoya

Stephens, 25. Nicholson told police he was confronted by an armed

Minnard and the 17-year-old as he arrived home early Wednesday.

Minnard held Nicholson and Stephens, who was already at the

residence, at gunpoint while the 17-year-old searched the home.

The victims got the gun away from Minnard and Stephens pulled a

pistol concealed in his waistband – fatally wounding Minnard. The

17-year-old is being held in juvenile detention pending a

hearing.
