LAWRENCEBURG, Tennessee – It was a planned fight that drew several onlookers when one man was shot dead twice Tuesday night in Lawrenceburg.

Roy Joshua Smith, 19, was hit in chest and throat after he and another teenager met in a dimly lit park around 9:00 pm to settle differences on illegal drugs, Lawrenceburg Assistant Police Chief Darren Goolsby said.

Charged with first degree murder was Tristin Bush, 18 and being held without bill in Lawrence County Jail. Bush who lives on Wesley Chapel Road in Lawrenceburg was halted in Lewisburg shortly after the shooting now locked in Lawrence County Jail. Goolsby said several people gathered around Simms Street Memorial Park to witness a fight between the two teens. Investigators talked to witnesses throughout the day.
