PRINCETON, Ky. (WKRN) – A man wanted for an Easter Sunday shooting at a Salemtown restaurant that left one person dead and five others injured has been arrested in Kentucky.

The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) said 46-year-old Anton Rucker was found at a home in Princeton, Kentucky. He came out of the home and surrendered without incident.

Just after 3 p.m. Sunday, March 31, shots rang out during Sunday brunch at Roasted Salemtown, located in the 600 block of Garfield Street, which is near Germantown.

The MNPD said 33-year-old Allen Beachem was shot and killed; five other gunshot victims ended up with non-critical injuries.

According to police, minutes after Rucker arrived at Roasted, he and another man — who is believed to be Beachem — got into an argument that “significantly escalated within moments.” However, there is no indication at this time that the two men knew each other.

Investigators said Rucker fired shots from a pistol and then drove off in a Mercedes GLS 450.
