A second man wanted for an out-of-state murder charge was apprehended Monday in Rutherford County, authorities said.
Suspect Jesus Najera, 34, of Nashville was wanted on a capital murder charge in Mississippi, said Rutherford County Sheriffâs Detective Chuck Thomas, who is assigned to the U.S. Marshalâs Task Force.
In an unrelated case, suspect Paige Terrell Lawyer was apprehended Sunday evening on a capital murder charge from Texas, Thomas said.
