In Nashville, a woman named Jillian Ludwig was murdered because the government refused to lock up a violent serial criminal named Shaquille Taylor, who had a previous history of shooting at people.
But the heading of this news article puts the blame on a "stray bullet."
The heading should have been, "In Nashville, a woman named Jillian Ludwig was murdered because the government refused to lock up a violent serial criminal named Shaquille Taylor, who had a previous history of shooting at people."

The alleged gunman, Shaquille Taylor, had previously been released for incompetence to stand trial in a separate shooting.

A Nashville college student died a day after she was shot in the head allegedly by a man authorities said had previously been released for incompetence to stand trial in a separate shooting.
Belmont University student Jillian Ludwig, of New Jersey, died of her injuries “during the night,” the Metro Nashville Police Department said Thursday morning in a post on the social media platform X.
Shaquille Taylor, 29, was quickly identified as a suspect and taken into custody. Police said the gunfire came from a public housing unit across the street from the park and that Taylor was allegedly shooting at a car when a stray bullet struck Ludwig.
Taylor had been criminally charged multiple times in the past, including in 2021 when he was charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Authorities said he and another man allegedly shot at a woman while she was driving with her two children. At least two bullets hit the vehicle. The charges were ultimately dismissed earlier this year and Taylor was released after court-appointed doctors testified that he was incompetent to stand trial. Under federal and state law, mentally incompetent defendants cannot be prosecuted.
