Three victims injured in an altercation early Sunday are improving Monday at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, a Rutherford County Sheriff's detective said.

Victims Rayshawn Lawrence, 26, no address available, and Greg Browning, 20, of Christiana Road suffered stab wounds and William Cole, 22, no address available, suffered head injuries in the altercation, said Detective Tony Grissom. Detective Grissom interviewed the victims Monday.

Suspect Jeremy Duke, 32, of Readyville was charged with aggravated assault Sunday. A second suspect has been located. Additional charges are expected.

The injuries occurred during a bonfire party Sunday off Weakley Lane attended by about 40 to 50 people. People at the party took the injured men to StoneCrest Medical Center in Smyrna. Sheriff's patrol deputies gathered information from witnesses at the hospital and at the bonfire. "I have interviewed all suspects and victims and several witnesses, which gives me an accurate account of the event," Detective Grissom said Monday. Duke was released on $5,000 bond at Rutherford County Adult Detention Center. A hearing on his charge is pending in General Sessions Court.
