Authorities in Tennessee search for murder suspect before he crashes through the ceiling

A fugitive wanted for his involvement in a fatal shooting in Tennessee earlier this year, was captured by federal authorities after falling through the ceiling of a home in Memphis where he was hiding. Deario 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 2. Cunningham was shot in the back of the head after the suspects stole his gun and fired it at him as he tried to flee. Wilkerson was one of three suspects identified in the shooting, with the other two already arrested and charged. Wilkerson tried to hide in the attic of the house where he was found by the agency task force. It is unclear if Wilkerson has legal representation at this time. The U.S. Marshal’s Service and the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office were involved in the arrest and the case.
