NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) - Nearly two years after a Clarksville man died in a South Nashville shooting, two men have been charged with first degree murder in connection with the case.
Metro police said on Feb. 23, 2022, 38-year-old Julio Delima was shot and killed in the 3300 block of Ezell Road. The investigation revealed Delima was in a Nissan Altima when a passenger in another vehicle shot at his car.
On Thursday, Dec. 21, police said officers went to an apartment complex on Packard Drive and arrested 23-year-old Hugo Rosales-Aguilar, the alleged shooter. The motive is believed to be related to a dispute over a woman.
Josue Flores-Mercado, 20, is believed to have been with Rosales-Aguilar when the shooting happened. Flores-Mercado was in jail on an unrelated robbery case at the time the murder indictment was returned, according to investigators.
Rosales-Aguilar and Flores-Mercado are each being held on $200,000 bonds.
