A Nashville woman is accused of shooting a homeless man who asked her to move her Porsche SUV.

Katie Quackenbush, 26, is charged with attempted murder, according to The Tennessean.


According to the Metro Nashville Police, Quackenbush critically wounded 54-year-old Gerald Melton on Aug. 26. He remains in the hospital.

Police say Melton was trying to sleep on a sidewalk around 3 a.m. when the exhaust fumes and loud music from Quackenbush's SUV disturbed him.

When he asked the young woman to move the vehicle, an argument ensued and Quackenbush got out of the SUV with a weapon.

Police say she shot the man twice and fled the scene.

Jesse Quackenbush, Katie's father, has a different account of what happened.

He told the Tennessean that his daughter and her friend were being accosted by Melton, claiming the man made explicit and sexist remarks toward the two. He also claimed Melton threatened to kill the women.

According to the father, Quackenbush then grabbed her gun and got out of her SUV to escort her friend to her vehicle.

Melton allegedly began walking toward the woman, Jesse said, when his daughter told him she had a gun and fired two warning shots.

He claims she had no idea Melton had been hit by the gunfire.

Quackenbush's bond was set at $25,000. She is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 6.

White privilege strikes again! Please put this b!tch UNDER the jail! :atwitsend

If she was being threatened by the homeless guy as she claims, why didn't she get the fµck back in her car and drive off - she didn't have to shoot him? Did the homeless guy have a weapon? :worried:

Always the innocent victim... :rolleyes:

Considering her bond was only $25,000 after she fled the scene and shot the victim twice - I would be surprised if Gerald was any race other than black.

She looks like she would do something like that, honestly. Of course, I wasn't there, but I'd never video before believing her account.

When you go to a conceal carry class they tell you If someone is threatening your personal space and you feel like they are going to harm you You have grounds to shoot and protect yourself. What is strange is she ran lol I don't buy the story the father is trying to spin. If you had to shoot they tell you to stay in the area in a safe place until the police arrives

I don't think he's black because it was mentioned that he made some "sexist" remarks to her...had he been black, I am sure she would have said that he said something racial.

But who knows?

She looks crazy in the face. This chick was waiting for the opportunity to shoot someone. Her money had her thinking she could get away with shooting a poor homeless man. No doubt in my mind. I wonder if there was a mental evaluation before she received her license.

An aspiring country music singer and rapper has been charged with attempted murder after shooting a homeless man who she says threatened her life during a late night row in Nashville.

Katie Layne Quackenbush, 26, shot Gerald Melton, 54, twice during an altercation outside her Porsche SUV in Nashville's Music Row on August 26.

It was 3am and Melton, who was trying to sleep, complained to Katie and a friend who was with her that her music was too loud, according to police.

The pair had been at a nightclub and she was bringing her friend back to her own car when the argument ensued.


Police say that after shouting at one another, Melton retreated but Quackenbush got out of her $60,000 Porsche Cayenne and fired two shots at him, wounding him in the stomach.


Quackenbush, an aspiring country singer and rapper and mother-of-one, fled the scene afterwards to go and have breakfast at a restaurant with her friend.

Melton was taken to the hospital where he remains. His condition is not known.

The next day, after police issued an appeal to find 'two blonde women' suspected of shooting him, she handed herself in to police. Her version of events differ from the one given by police.

Katie is being represented by her father. She is out on bail.

Gerald Melton was shot twice in the stomach. He is at Vanderbilt.

According to her father Jesse, a personal injury and criminal defense attorney in Amarillo, Texas, Quackenbush feared for her life when she fired her gun.

He said she and her friend had been at a nightclub and that his daughter was taking her friend back to her car when they saw Melton accosting another group of girls.

He came at her and she fired what she thought was a warning shot

'As they pulled up, they noticed this homeless guy out ahead.

'He was yelling and screaming at another group of girls which looked like sorority girls from the local university.


'It seemed he was getting into a physical altercation with one of them,' Mr. Quackenbush told DailyMail.com on Tuesday.

He claimed Melton then approached his daughter's car and started 'screaming and banging on the windows'.

He called her a 'sand n***er w**re' and threatened to kill her if she did not turn her music down, he added.

Upon his advice, his daughter contacted police and handed in the gun which, her father said, she has for self-protection.

Quackenbush moved to Nashville from her native Texas to 'like a lot of people', pursue a career in country music, her father said.

She has a five-year-old son who, despite 'struggling to make a living', she puts through private school.

In 2013, Quackenbush was arrested for assault causing bodily injury after a 'squabble' with her mother. The charges were later dropped.

Her father said police in Nashville are using her as a 'poster child' for the city's ongoing homeless problems.

He believes she is being unfairly prosecuted and that authorities are intentionally ignoring any threat Melton may have posed.

'The guy's obviously schizophrenic in the opinion of my daughter and her friend and other people,' Mr. Quackenbush said.

Melton's criminal record in Nashville dates back to 2014 and includes several arrests for criminal trespassing and failing to appear in court.

Quackenbush was released from jail on a $25,000 bond and is awaiting her next court appearance.

She goes by the artist name Katie Layne and previously uploaded her collection of rap and country music songs to YouTube.

Is it bad that I'm relieved the victim is not a black man? I'm not being cruel but I'm honestly relieved that we don't have to witness yet another injustice. Maybe she will actually have to face some sort of punishment. The "I feared for my life" narrative won't play as well now.

  • Sand no&&- hoe seems made up by the dad.
Unless she was clothed in a way that showed Arab roots or speaking in her language how would anyone know she wasn't regular American mutt white?

You can clearly see the Persian in her face.
