Police said on Sunday that they believe a man with multiple assault convictions is responsible for a shooting that took place at a restaurant on Easter Sunday in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nashville" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nashville</a> that left one person dead and multiple wounded. 
Metro Nashville Police identified 46-year-old Anton Rucker as the suspect for a shooting at the Roasted Salemtown restaurant that killed 33-year-old Allen Beachem and injured seven others. According to police spokesman Don Aaron, the shooting took place after Rucker got into an argument with another man. 
“We don&#8217;t have any indication that they knew each other at this point,” Aaron said of the two in the argument. “It could be something as simple as one person invading another person&#8217;s space.”
