Jillian Ludwig, a Belmont University freshman, died Tuesday after being hit by a stray bullet while walking in a park a mile from campus in Nashville, reports the Tennessean. Shaquille Taylor was arrested and charged after an informant, video evidence and an alleged confession linked him to the shooting. Metro police said Taylor appeared to be shooting at a nearby car when a stray bullet struck Ludwig. Taylor was previously charged with aggravated assault and was ultimately found by three doctors to be incompetent to stand trial but did not meet the state standards for involuntary commitment.
