Princeton man charged with murder, attempted murder

The Princeton Police Department has served an indictment warrant against the man charged in connection with the shooting death of a 34-year-old man in Princeton earlier this year. 

According to a news release, the indictment warrant for one count of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder was served to 20-year-old Hector Miguel Pena of Princeton on Monday.  He is accused of shooting 34-year-old Jerrod Cooper of Princeton multiple times at a home in the 300 block of Beverly Lane in October. 

Cooper was flown to a Nashville hospital, where he would later succumb to his injuries.

Pena was originally charged with first-degree assault, but that has been amended. He remains lodged in the Caldwell County Jail.
