Woman wanted for attempted murder, man wanted for sex crimes among ‘Most Wanted' fugitives in Nashville

Yahoo23-04-2025
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two people wanted for violent crimes are the latest additions to the Metro Nashville Police Department's (MNPD) list of 'Most Wanted' fugitives.
One woman added to the list is wanted on grand jury indictments for attempted first-degree murder, and one man is wanted for sex crimes against a minor.
Each week the MNPD Criminal Warrants Division posts the list of all the people they consider the top most wanted fugitives from justice. The list is updated each Wednesday on the department's Facebook page. According to Metro detectives, those featured on the list are often considered to be some of the 'most violent' offenders in the city.
Since the list was first launched in October 2022, 165 people featured on it have been apprehended or surrendered to law enforcement, including several apprehended out of county or even out of state. In 2025 alone, there have been 10 arrests of those featured on the 'Most Wanted' list, and 68 arrests took place in 2024.
Below is the list of suspects who made the 'Most Wanted' list for the week of April 23, 2025.
According to police, Muhina, 24, is wanted after being indicted by a federal grand jury on multiple felony counts. His charges include first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, solicitation to commit first-degree murder, attempted murder and tampering with evidence.

Court records show the charges stem from a September 2021 shooting that killed 16-year-old Ja'Niya Birdsong and injured another 17-year-old. Family members told News 2 multiple young men were involved in an argument with the two teens before shots rang out.
Birdsong died at the scene in her grandmother's Paragon Mills driveway. She was a junior at Hillsboro High School and hoped to become a hairstylist, according to family.
While initially the only link to a suspect was a light-colored sedan seen leaving, six people—including Muhina—have since been identified.
As their investigation progressed, detectives said they found text messages between the suspects regarding their plans to destroy the car used in the alleged homicide. Muhina and the other suspects are also accused of conspiring to hire someone to kill a witness.
At least one other suspect in the shooting was taken into custody. However, Muhina has remained at large. Anyone with information on Muhina's whereabouts is asked to contact the MNPD at 615-862-8600 or Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
Raceme Crutcher, 22, has been on the run from police for more than a year, after he was named one of two suspects in a deadly Fourth of July shooting in 2023.
Officials said the shooting happened at the Fallbrook Apartments on Dellway Villa Road. Etabo Malanda, 16, was reportedly standing on the porch of an apartment when two armed individuals came from around the corner and confronted him.
Man charged with pulling knife on bar staff in downtown Nashville
Malanda allegedly tried to pull out a pistol that was inside his hoodie, but he was shot first. Police said he died shortly after he was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
According to investigators, four guns were recovered from the apartment, including one that was reported stolen. Crutcher and 17-year-old Jaylin Brown were reportedly connected to the crime through witness accounts.
Investigators also obtained surveillance footage and additional information from community members that they said pointed to Crutcher and Brown as suspects in the case. Officials believe the motive may have been an ongoing dispute between the suspects and Malanda.
Brown was taken into custody on Aug. 31, 2023, after police said they caught him driving a stolen car. Crutcher, however, is still on the run. He was added to the 'Most Wanted' list more than a year ago, on Nov. 15, 2023. His last location is unknown.
De'tynn Smith, 21, is wanted for first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, aggravated robbery and committing a felony with a dangerous weapon.
He was previously featured on the 'Most Wanted' list in 2023, even earning the 'Top Most Wanted' designation from MNPD on March 8, 2023.

He has previous criminal history in Metro Nashville, including an indictment on a felony theft charge and felony carjacking charge in 2022. He was also indicted for a misdemeanor, evading arrest in 2022, according to court records.
His last location is unknown to police.
The first new addition to the 'Most Wanted' list is Holle Callahan, 39. According to police, Callahan is wanted on grand jury indictments for attempted first-degree premeditated murder, aggravated assault with serious bodily injury, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and being a felon in possession of a handgun.
Her last location is unknown to authorities.
Devon Martak, 39, was added to the list at the end of 2024. According to Metro police, Martak is wanted for a grand jury indictment of three counts of rape of someone who is mentally defective or helpless and three counts of rape without consent.
Martak has an extensive criminal history in Nashville. He has previous convictions for drug possession, unlawful weapon possession, driving on a suspended license and reckless driving; he also has a 'no contest' plea for an aggravated sexual battery charge in 2022.
His last known location was in Madison, according to police.
Yudel Ordunez, 52, has spent nearly eight weeks among Nashville's 'Most Wanted' fugitives. He was first added at the beginning of January.
According to Metro Police, Ordunez is wanted on grand jury indictments for rape without consent and three counts of sexual battery by an authority figure.
Ordunez was last seen in West Nashville, police said.
The other new addition to the list this week is William Tibbs, 32. Metro police said Tibbs is wanted for several sex crimes, including aggravated statutory rape, rape by force or coercion, and two counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, 1-25 items.

Nearing two months on the 'Most Wanted' list this week is Marcellus Springer, 20. According to MNPD, Springer is wanted on a grand jury indictment for statutory rape.

'We see you': Joint operation to combat recent gun violence nets 13 arrests

A joint operation between the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office, Lake Charles Police and Louisiana State Police to address the recent gun violence in the community has netted 13 arrests in the past few weeks — and Sheriff Stitch Guillory has a message for those who are in possession of stolen firearms and are bragging about it online: 'We see you.' Over a six-week period between June and August, six shootings were reported within the parish. Four resulted in fatalities. In June, LCPD responded to a fatal shooting in the 200 block of North 1st Avenue and CPSO investigated the death of a man whose body was discovered on the side of the road near the 6700 block of U.S. 90 riddled with gunshot wounds. In July, CPSO investigated a fatal shooting at the Lake Charles Event Center Seawall, a Fourth of July shooting in the 1100 block of Allen Street in DeQuincy, and a shooting in the parking lot of Cowboys Night Club. On Aug. 5, LCPD responded to a fatal shooting in the parking lot of the On The Rocks bar — which is across the street from the McNeese State University Legacy Center. Guillory said the joint operation was underway before the On The Rocks shooting. 'We're not being reactive, we are proactive,' he said. 'Getting guns off our street and targeting criminals in and around local bar establishments where we know we're having problems (led to the operation). We decided to get ahead of the curve, it just so happened that the homicide at On The Rocks happened afterward.' Police Chief Shawn Caldwell said the arrests range from a 'variety of gun charges, a variety of drug charges and some traffic charges, as well.' During the arrests, seven illegally possessed firearms, more than 400 grams of marijuana, 12 Xanax pills and nine pressed Fentanyl pills were recovered. 'We take this serious. We're going to go out there, we're going to identify these people and we're going to arrest them,' Caldwell said. 'When we're done with that, we're going to turn them over to the DA.' District Attorney Stephen Dwight said two prosecutors on his team have been assigned to the joint operation to lend support and answer questions on searches and seizures. 'This is what the community wants to see; this is what we want to see,' Dwight said. 'We're getting guns off our streets and drugs off our streets and we're prepared to take these cases and run them through the judicial system.' Guillory said among the firearms confiscated was an AR-15. 'There's no purpose for that,' he said. 'What are you going to do with an AR-15?' To those college students fearful of patronizing local bars after their classes because of the recent violence, the sheriff said there has been no problems inside any of the facilities. 'It's just been in the parking lots, after they're closed,' he said. 'The bars themselves are safe.' Local ordinances require area bars and nightclubs to close at 2 a.m. Special details have been set up at these locations to clear out the parking lots after hours. Guillory said the men and women behind the badge signed up for this career because they want to make a difference in their community 'We're going to do everything we can, we're going to use every tool we have at our disposal to make our community safe and to keep our community safe,' he said. 'To the criminals out there, you want to go on social media and you want to post your stuff, we see it, too. That's our message. When you have drugs and you have them combined with a firearm, that's enhanced charges. I can promise you we're going to work with our federal partners to try and send you away for a very long time.'

Family of flood victim sues RV park over alleged negligence

AUSTIN (KMID/KPEJ)- Loved ones of 22-year-old Jayda Floyd, an Odessa juvenile probation officer who lost her life last month in the devastating floods that swept through the Hill Country, have filed a lawsuit against the RV park, attorneys with Glasheen, Valles & Inderman announced Tuesday afternoon. Jayda was staying at the HTR TX Hill Country Resort, a luxury RV park and campground on the Guadalupe River in Kerrville, Texas, over the Fourth of July weekend with her fiancé, Odessa Police officer, Bailey Martin, and his family, when floodwaters roared through the area overnight. Woken by the commotion, attorneys for the family said that Jayda helped Bailey's teenage siblings climb onto the RV before she was swept away. That last heroic act saved the teens, but tragically, Jayda, Bailey, and Bailey's father and step-mother, Bobby and Amanda Martin, were killed. A dedicated juvenile probation officer in Ector County, Jayda was pursuing her master's degree in psychology at the University of Texas Permian Basin. Her mission was to serve at-risk youth and change the course of young lives. 'She was someone who was going to make a difference in the lives of people, particularly kids,' said her father, David Floyd. Attorney Kevin Glasheen said, 'The family wants answers and accountability. They want to know why the resort had no effective system to monitor extreme weather and flooding, no adequate warning for guests like Jayda, and no timely evacuation procedures.' The lawsuit states that the defendants may have ignored the following warnings: ● 5:47 p.m. Wednesday, July 2: Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) announced the agency activated state emergency response resources in anticipation of flooding in West and Central Texas ● Morning of Thursday, July 3: National Water Center issues Flood Hazard Outlook, identifying flash flood potential for Kerrville and surrounding areas, according to the Department of Homeland Security ● Approximately 1:45 p.m., Thursday, July 3: A Flood Watch was issued for Kerr County ● 6:22 p.m. Thursday, July 3: National Water Center warns of considerable flooding risks north and west of San Antonio, including Kerrville, according to the Department of Homeland Security ● Approximately 8:12 p.m. Thursday, July 3: The Flood Watch was extended ● 1:14 a.m. Friday, July 4: Flash Flood Warning with 'Considerable' tag issued for Bandera and Kerr Counties, triggering Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) and NOAA Weather Radio notifications, according to the Department of Homeland Security ● Approximately 2:37 a.m. Friday, July 4: The Flash Flood Watch was extended ● 3:19 a.m. Friday, July 4: A River Flood Warning was issued for the Guadalupe River at Hunt ● Approximately 3:28 a.m. Friday, July 4: A Downstream River Flood Warning was issued for the Guadalupe River in Kerrville ● Approximately 3:36 a.m. Friday, July 4: A Flash Flood Warning was issued for south-central Kerr and northwest Bandera Counties ● Approximately 3:56 a.m. Friday, July 4: A new River Forecast Warning was issued for the Guadalupe River at Hunt ● Approximately 4:04 a.m. Friday, July 4: A Flash Flood Emergency was issued ● 4:23 a.m. Friday, July 4: NWS posted on X that 'a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION and a Flash Flood EMERGENCY is in effect' ● 5:34 a.m. Friday, July 4: A Flash Flood Emergency for the Guadalupe River from Hunt through Kerrville and down to Center Point was issued According to reports, police and fire officials observed RVs being swept away in the darkness at or near the campground around 5:00am. Surviving guests of the HTR TX Hill Country Resort campground report that it was someone honking a car horn that awoke them, and they were barely able to escape with their lives as the water rose from ankle deep to waist deep in minutes. Witnesses report watching in horror as the flood waters carried away entire cabins, ripped from their foundations, and RVs, while people trapped inside them screamed for help. 'Defendants were negligent and grossly negligent for the following reasons,' the lawsuit stated: a. Failing to establish proper storm and flood monitoring procedures; b. Failing to provide proper equipment and training for their employees and/or agents to monitor the potential for catastrophic flooding; c. Failing to establish proper emergency response procedures; d. Failing to establish proper evacuation procedures and processes; e. Failing to properly, safely, and timely evacuate the property; f. Failing to warn guests of the risk of flooding and/or of the actual flooding that occurred; g. Placing guests in a known floodplain with a history of dangerous flooding; h. Installing structures not designed to withstand flooding conditions; i. Failing to implement sufficient infrastructure improvements and maintenance to establish and maintain a safe means of egress from the property to safety in the event of a flood such as the one encountered; j. Any violations of applicable, local, state, and federal laws and/or regulations; k. Vicarious liability for the conduct of its agents and/or employees; and l. Other acts negligent acts or omissions identified throughout the course of the lawsuit. 'Businesses operating campgrounds along the river have known about its flooding history for decades,' said Jon Clark, attorney for the family. 'We will investigate what steps—if any—were taken to monitor conditions and warn guests of the danger they were in.' In response to the lawsuit, a spokesperson for HTR TX Hill Country said, 'Our hearts go out to Ms. Floyd's family, her fiancé, and other loved ones – and to all of those who were impacted by the flooding that devastated the Kerrville community. As has been widely acknowledged by state and local authorities, meteorologists, and other experts, no one could have anticipated the unprecedented severity and rapid onset of the flooding that occurred and that exposed serious failures in public warning systems and emergency response protocols. While we have not yet been served with this complaint, we have reviewed a copy. We reject its fundamental thrust and will be prepared to vigorously defend ourselves in court.'

Trump to disclose Washington plans on Monday morning

FBI crime statistics show that the city experienced a surge in violent crime in 2023 (though with homicide numbers far below the worst years from 1989 to 1993), but the numbers have dropped significantly since then in a range of categories, including homicides, violent crimes and carjackings. 'It is true we had a terrible spike in crime in 2023, but this is not 2023, this is 2025,' Mayor Muriel Bowser said Sunday on MSNBC's 'The Weekend.' 'We've done that by working with the community, working with the police, working with our prosecutors, and, in fact, working with the federal government.' She added: 'Any comparison to a war-torn country is hyperbolic and false.' People wait to watch flyovers on the National Mall during a Fourth of July celebration in Washington. | Rahmad Gul/AP The District of Columbia Home Rule Act provides the legal framework for the city's self-government, its elections and its administration of day-to-day functions. It was passed by Congress in 1973 by wide margins and signed by President Richard M. Nixon. In Feburary 2025, however, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) offered legislation to repeal the law. Trump's Truth Social post did not say exactly what the president had in mind, but he made it clear he planned to act in some manner. 'The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances,' Trump's Truth Social post said, 'and the Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive. The American Public is not going to put up with it any longer.'
