A Davidson County jury on Friday found a former security guard not guilty of murder in a fatal shooting outside a Nashville restaurant where he was working, reports the Associated Press. Nathan Glass faced an indictment for second-degree murder in the death of Deangelo Knox, who was engaged in a shootout outside the Pharmacy Burger Parlor & Beer Garden. Prosecutors argued that Knox was fleeing assailants who were firing on him. Glass’s attorneys contended he was protecting himself and patrons when Knox turned toward the restaurant holding a gun. A lawsuit filed by Knox’s family against Glass was settled privately. Glass had been admitted to the police academy prior to the shooting. His entry into the program was paused during the investigation. He resigned in 2021.
