This week, the US Marshals Service made a significant breakthrough in a months-long manhunt for a murder suspect on the run. The suspect, 20-year-old Deario Wilkerson, was wanted for first-degree murder and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon in connection to the tragic death of Troy Cunningham in April. Cunningham was found with a gunshot wound on a sidewalk in North Memphis, as reported by the Shelby County District Attorney's Office in Tennessee.
Wilkerson was one of three individuals charged in relation to the homicide, according to a press release from the Shelby County District Attorney's Office. A warrant was issued for his arrest in May, and the Marshals' violent fugitive task force in Memphis began their investigation. On Monday, authorities finally caught up with Wilkerson at a residence in Memphis that was surrounded by deputy marshals, officers from the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, and the Memphis Police Department.
As the entry team approached the front door and announced their presence, they suddenly heard loud noises coming from inside the home. Shortly after, a loud crash was heard, and investigators at the scene realized that Wilkerson had been hiding in the attic and accidentally fell through the ceiling. Fortunately, he was not harmed and was immediately taken into custody without any further incident. He was then booked into the Shelby County Jail by the US marshals.
As of Thursday morning, Wilkerson did not have an attorney listed, and CNN has reached out to the Shelby County District Attorney's Office for any updates or comments. In the meantime, the Paralympic Games Paris 2024 are currently taking place, and every moment and medal can be watched live and for free on Channel 9, 9Gem, and 9Now.
