The United States Marshals Service announced it arrested a murder suspect who fell through a ceiling from the attic where he was hiding.
Officers with the U.S. Marshals Service caught a lucky break when a murder suspect fell through a ceiling from an attic space where he was hiding. The U.S. Marshals Service announced in a press release that agents captured 20-year-old Deario Wilkerson Monday, Aug. 26, months after a warrant for his arrest was issued in a fatal shooting in Memphis. Authorities said Wilkerson was involved in the death of Troy Cunningham April 2.
The task force investigating his whereabouts tracked him to a home in Memphis, the agency said. Agents did not have to look very long before Wilkerson literally fell into their hands. Wilkerson attempted to hide in the attic as the USMS searched the residence; however, he fell through the ceiling,' the U.S. Marshals Service said. Officials said Wilkerson was not injured in the fall and was taken into custody without further incident. Wilkerson was the third suspect arrested in Cunningham's death. Jarius Hibbler and Tamarius Barron were arrested in May.
