BREAKING: A 27-year-old Detroit man has been indicted following a violent shooting on Interstate 640 that left two men dead. Dashonn Moten faces two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony murder, along with one count of attempted first-degree murder for injuring another man, 22 years old, during the early morning incident.
The Knoxville Police Department confirmed the indictment, revealing that Troy Hutchison, aged 33, and Rodrell Jeter, aged 25, were tragically killed in the shooting. Families are left devastated, and the community is reeling from the violence that unfolded.
New reports indicate that the grand jury in Knox County returned a comprehensive 17-count indictment against Moten last week. Authorities have pieced together the events of that fateful night through extensive interviews, cell phone records, and numerous anonymous tips, highlighting the collaborative effort with East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers.
Authorities now believe that Moten may have returned to the Detroit area, shifting their search efforts away from Knoxville. The Knoxville Police Department has enlisted the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service to expedite his capture, underscoring the urgency of this case.
