Vanderbilt police found Booker, 31, in the Wesley Place parking garage at the Northeast corner of campus at around 11:40 p.m. Saturday with an apparent gunshot wound, the Tennessean reports.

Surveillance video showed that an exchange of gunfire between Booker and another gunman, the passenger of a tan 2006 Ford F-150, resulted in Booker’s death. The owner of the truck voluntarily turned it over to police after hearing reports that police were looking for it, the Vanderbilt Hunter reports.
