According to an arrest warrant, 23-year-old Eric Blivens was chasing his ex-girlfriend in a vehicle and texted her he was ‘Finna Start Shooting’. He then spoke to his ex-girlfriend’s grandmother on the phone, allegedly telling her that it turned him on when he assaults her granddaughter and she punches him back.
Metro Nashville Police responded to a ‘rolling domestic dispute’ on November 20th, at the Waffle House on W. Trinity Lane. The victim, Dareisha Morton, had called 911 to report she was being chased by her ex-boyfriend, identified as Eric Blivens. He was chasing her in a vehicle, and had texted her saying he was ‘FINNA START SHOOTING’.

Metro Police were able to conduct a traffic stop and detain both parties to investigate. They found that Blivens had chased her in a gold Pathfinder.
