NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Metro Nashville police are searching for a man who sexually exploited a minor by sending her inappropriate images many times, naming him one of the city's 'Most Wanted' fugitives.
Each week, the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) Criminal Warrants Division posts a list of the top most wanted fugitives. 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 of 2022, more than 150 people featured have been apprehended or surrendered, including several apprehended out of county or even out of state.
Below is a list of the suspects who made the department's 'Most Wanted' list for the week of April 9, 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.

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.
