Brentwood police closed its investigation after a grand jury declined to file charges against the neighbor who fatally shot a man during a domestic assault on Lost Hollow Drive Feb. 26.
The agency responded to a report of a man stabbing a woman around 1:17 p.m. that day.
Police said before they arrived, a neighbor armed with a gun confronted Julian Porter, 26, and tried to stop him from stabbing his mother, Nathalie Porter.
The neighbor, in front of several witnesses, shot Julian Porter multiple times.
Mother and son were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Julian Porter died of his injuries. Nathalie Porter was later discharged.
The grand jury found that no crime was committed by the neighbor, who was not named by Brentwood police.
