Around 1:00 A.M., Nashville Police responded to a shooting at Jenkins Dorm, a property owned by the House of God church but rented out by TSU. There they found Compton with a gunshot wound to the head.
Police believe that the shooting may have been a drug deal gone wrong.

A quick Google search reveals that Compton was wanted for questions involving the assault of a convenience store clerk. He was also wanted for questioning in the murder of 33-year-old John Sykes.
