A man charged with four counts of "Attempted First Degree Murder" in Murfreesboro will appear in court for what is called a "Discovery Hearing" on December 4, 2015. A Discovery Hearing is a legal term used in a pre-trial procedure, it provides an exchange of information between parties that are involved in a legal proceeding.

The charges stem from an incident that occurred on April 26, 2015. Murfreesboro police officers responded to University Gables Apartments (2827 S. Rutherford Blvd.) to investigate the shooting of two individuals. When officers arrived on scene, they found 20-year old Dartavious Brittenum and 19-year old Travious Miller injured from gunshot wounds. Both were transported to Vanderbilt by LifeFlight due to the seriousness of their injuries. Both survived and have since been released from the hospital and are recovering from their injuries.
