In a bid to identify suspects in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man, Metro Nashville Police released surveillance video from cameras at Tennessee State University that shows at least two gunmen firing shots on Thursday night.
In the video clip, two suspects can be seen firing at a third individual in the outside courtyard of the Floyd-Payne Campus Center and detectives are asking for help in identifying the two shooters.
Surveillance video which was obtained by physically removing cameras from TSU's campus shows that at least six individuals took cellphone pictures or videos of a fight that preceded the gunfire.

Metro Nashville Police released surveillance video from the Thursday shooting at Tennessee State University
The video shows at least two gunmen firing shots at a third individual in an outside courtyard on campus

The shooting happened in the outdoor courtyard on the Nashville campus during an argument over a dice game around 10.50pm on Thursday and Cameron Selmon, 19, was killed during the fight.
At this point in the investigation, it has not been determined whether Selmon, who was not a student at the school, was responsible for any of the gunfire, MNP spokesman Don Aaron said.
A female student was grazed during the shooting but not hospitalized and two female students who were wounded in the incident were released from Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Friday.
Police have not released the names of any of the three 18-year-old female students.
They are encouraging students who scattered when the shooting began to come forward with further recordings and information.
'The person who fired those shots put innocent persons in extreme danger,' Aaron said.

University officials and police are reassuring jittery students that they are doing everything they can to keep students safe as they continue to look for the suspects.
The shooting comes just over a week after three people were wounded by gunfire at an off-campus party across the street from the university.

As a temporary measure, Nashville police officers will patrol the campus on foot at night.
Speaking at a Friday afternoon news conference, Nashville Mayor Megan Barry and TSU President Glenda Baskin Glover said they believe the TSU campus is safe.
Glover said the campus has spent $1million in the past year to hire new police and security officers and improve fencing and lighting on the urban campus.
The North Nashville neighborhood where TSU is located has largely been left out of the city's recent development boom.
Mayor Barry, who took office in September, said she wants to change that by investing in and revitalizing the neighborhood.
'Tennessee State University and the community that surrounds it is an incredibly important part of the fabric of our city,' she said.
A neighbor of Selmon's family in Memphis said residents were saddened and shocked by his death.
She said she had known him since he was a young boy.
'He had good parents — good, loving parents,' Harriett Freeman said by telephone.
'He was always very respectful... My heart goes out to his family.'
Anyone who knows the identities of the shooters is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-74-CRIME and anyone with photos or recordings is asked to call Detective Melody Saxon at 615-862-7805.
