According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD), a physical altercation broke out between multiple individuals inside the venue during the concert. The fight then spilled out into the parking lot area.
Witnesses reported that Umesh, attempted to intervene and defuse the escalating argument. However, as he was trying to break up the brawl, Umesh was suddenly punched in the head, causing him to fall to the concrete floor.
“Umesh was reportedly trying to defuse the argument when he was punched, causing him to fall and hit his head on the concrete,” the MNPD said.
While lying unconscious on the ground, Umesh was then kicked directly in the head by one of the assailants. He suffered severe head trauma as a result of the assault.
Umesh, a married father of two young children, was rushed to a local hospital. Despite the best efforts of medical staff, he succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday morning.
