NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – A grand jury has indicted the suspect in the fatal shooting of 44–year–old Terran Frazier.

Donyae Wroten, 22, was accused of shooting and killing Frazier in North Nashville in October 2023. Frazier was shot in the leg and abdomen on Phillips Street and then started walking up the street looking for help.

Frazier approached at least one house, smearing blood on a front door he had knocked on, police said. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.

Wroten had planned to rob Frazier over a previous dispute, according to police.

He’s charged with first-degree murder. He’s currently jailed in Louisiana for a parole violation and drug offense. Wroten will be returned to Nashville once he has completed his Louisiana sentence.
