NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man faces two felony charges stemming from a July armed home invasion in East Nashville.

The warrant states Kodjo assisted James Briggs in illegally entering the apartment armed with a handgun on July 25. According to police, Briggs removed the victim's air conditioning unit from the window and began shooting inside the home. However, he reportedly realized he was in the "wrong house," and told Kodjo the same before fleeing the apartment.

There were children inside the home, which a victim told Briggs, per the affidavit.

According to the warrant, video captured Kodjo helping Briggs enter the apartment while an unidentified male stood by.

In addition, Kodjo and Briggs reportedly could be seen on Metro Development and Housing Authority surveillance camera footage getting into a white Ford pickup truck immediately following the incident before driving to an address on S 4th Street, where they met with another unknown male. The affidavit says Briggs briefly removed a gun, which is believed to have been used during the robbery, from his waistband to check the magazine while speaking with that individual.

According to the Davidson County Sheriff's Office (DCSO), Kodjo is currently being held at the Downtown Detention Center for aggravated burglary-in concert and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon-in concert, both felony offenses. His bond is set at $75,000, per the DCSO.
