SUMMARY: In West Nashville, two women faced armed robberies on Saturday morning. A Vanderbilt student was held at gunpoint by Marquee Douglas, who demanded cash while she walked early in the morning. After giving him $70, he fled. Hours later, an 89-year-old woman encountered Douglas at a farmers market. Unfazed, she questioned his actions, prompting him to run off. Community advocates criticize the lack of security measures in public spaces and urge residents to remain vigilant by avoiding solitary outings and being aware of their surroundings. Douglas has been arrested and charged with multiple offenses, with a bond set at $110,000.
