Fugitive wounded in bounty hunter shooting to face grand jury

The case of a man who was shot early last month while being captured by a bounty hunter will have his domestic assault case heard by a Davidson County Grand jury, a Nashville judge decided today.
Juan Wilson, 25, is accused of domestic assault, aggravated assault, felony probation violation and failure to appear in court. In court yesterday, a woman testified that Wilson shot at her car and set her car on fire at her home. Wilson’s sister, mother and brother testified that he had been with them around the times when the alleged assaults occurred.
Wilson’s arrest was highlighted recently after bounty hunter Ronald Moseley, 26, shot at him May 8 at a shopping center at 28th Avenue North.
The bounty hunter was trying to capture Wilson on the outstanding warrants after receiving a tip that Wilson was there, Metro police said.
Moseley fired a “warning” shot at Wilson, then Wilson fired back, police said witnesses told them.
TSU police officer Frank White, who was eating lunch nearby, ran outside to intervene and also fired several shots.
Moseley’s brother, Stephen Moseley, was shot in the back. Moseley’s half-brother, Steven Hicks, also fired shots during the encounter, police said.
Wilson, whose arm was in a sling during yesterday’s court hearing, was arrested after he showed up at Centennial Medical Center, police said.
