Man charged for multiple domestic crimes added to Metro Nashville’s ‘Most Wanted’ list
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man wanted for aggravated burglary, aggravated stalking, a violation of a no-contact order and domestic assault is the latest suspect to appear on the list of "Most Wanted" fugitives from the Metro Nashville Police Department.
Each Wednesday the department publishes a list of the "Most Wanted" fugitives on its Criminal Warrants Division's Facebook page . According to detectives, those featured on the list are often considered to be some of the "most violent" offenders in the city.
Some of the people on the list have reportedly been on the run for months, while others are a bit fresher faces. However, the list has aided police in several arrests.
Since the list was first published in 2022, 146 people featured on the list have been apprehended, including two in the last week wanted for child endangerment and animal cruelty crimes. According to MNPD, 60 individuals who have appeared on the list have been arrested this year.

Below is a list of the suspects who made the police department's "Most Wanted" list for the week of Nov. 6, 2024.
Dadiri Muhina is making his ninth appearance on the list this week. According to MNPD, Muhina is still considered the "Top Most Wanted" fugitive.
According to police, Muhina 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 Janiya 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.

King was shot and killed just before 2:30 a.m. Saturday, April 20. Investigators said King was hanging out with friends in an alleyway between Hayes and Church streets when they were approached by three other men.

Both were brought to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, but King did not survive.
