Damarion Morehead was shot in the head when a fight involving "six to seven" people broke out at the intersection of Representative John Lewis Way and Deaderick Street, which is right next to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
Morehead was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
The Metro Nashville Police Department arrested 24-year-old Devin Orr, who is the suspected shooter. Investigators were able to examine video from the incident.
In a statement, the Metro Nashville Police Department said, "During the brawl, Orr reached into his waistband to retrieve a handgun. At this point, persons involved in the fight began to run away. Shots were fired and Morehead fell to the ground."
The brawl started over a female, police say.
When detectives questioned Orr, he allegedly admitted to putting a handgun inside a sewer; it was later recovered by investigators.
Davidson County court records say Orr is due in court on Wednesday; an attorney for the suspect has not yet been listed.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
