A fugitive wanted in connection with a fatal shooting in Tennessee earlier this year, Deario Wilkerson, was captured after falling through the ceiling of a Memphis home where he was hiding. Wilkerson, 20, was arrested on charges of first-degree murder and reckless endangerment-deadly weapon in connection with the killing of Troy Cunningham on April 2nd. Cunningham was shot in the back of his head as he tried to flee the area after the suspects stole his gun and fired it at him. Wilkerson was one of three identified suspects in the shooting, with the other two already arrested and charged. Wilkerson was tracked to the home by a U.S. Marshals Service task force and attempted to hide in the attic before falling through the ceiling and being apprehended. An arrest warrant had been issued for Wilkerson in May and it is unclear if he has legal representation. This incident highlights the ongoing efforts to bring suspects to justice in violent crimes, with law enforcement agencies working together to track down and apprehend fugitives.
