Authorities have released the name of a shooting victim in Williamson County from earlier this week.

The Sheriff's Office says 57-year old Shawn Adams was shot and died at a home on Griffith Lane in Marion late Wednesday.

Authorities were called out just before 11:00pm, and found Adams when they arrived.

A 17-year old was taken into custody, and he's being held in the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center pending a court appearance.
