Nashville police identified three of the children: Roniyah McKnight, Diamond Lewis, and Decorrius Wright. The other two children have not been identified because they are 13 years old or younger. They were all taken to juvenile detention.
A firearm was found, as well as a stolen car on the parking lot. Investigators said the five people were in a stolen van from Chevrolet Colorado when they saw Yorlets outside.
