NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man wanted for multiple counts of sexual battery by an authority figure and another man wanted for assault are among those included as part of the Metro Nashville Police Department’s (MNPD) “Most Wanted” fugitives.
The list is updated each Wednesday on the MNPD Criminal Warrants Division’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.
Most of the fugitives on the “Most Wanted” list are wanted for homicide or sex crimes, but some of those featured are sought for assault.
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 out of state.
Below is a list of the suspects who made the department’s “Most Wanted” list for the week of Jan. 1, 2025.
1. Dadiri Muhina
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 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.
2. Adrian L. Cameron
Adrian Cameron, 19, has been on the run since April 2024, according to MNPD. He’s been at the top of the “Most Wanted” list for several months as police continue to search for him in connection to the death of 32-year-old rapper Chris King.
King was shot and killed just before 2:30 a.m. on 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.
While the interaction began “cordial,” according to King’s friends, the three eventually tried to rob them. That’s why gunfire rang out, injuring King and his 29-year-old friend.
Both were brought to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, but King did not survive his injuries.
Cameron, who was out on bond for the 2021 murder of 50-year-old Josh Evans at the time, was identified as a suspect in the shooting days later.
Officials believe Cameron cut his ankle monitor shortly after the shooting. Cameron had just turned 17 years old when police said he turned himself in for Evans’ murder. Evans was found shot and wrapped in trash bags in the Cumberland River in September 2021.
Cameron was arrested again for gun charges in Rutherford County less than four months after turning himself in for the 2021 murder. He’s now charged with criminal homicide in connection with King’s death, as well as failure to appear.
However, efforts to locate him have been unsuccessful. Police said his last location is unknown.
3. Lagarrion L. Blacksmith
Lagarrion Blacksmith, 35, has been toward the top of the department’s “Most Wanted” list for more than a year as police continue to search for him.
He was initially added to the list Nov. 29, 2023, after investigators were able to connect him to a deadly shooting that took place outside a Dickerson Pike bar in February 2023.
Officers found 35-year-old Chancellor Eddins lying on the ground just outside Trvth Lounge on Feb. 18, 2023. He had been shot and later died at the scene. Another man who had also been hit by the gunfire was able to give officers an account of what happened.
According to police, the injured man told them he and Eddins had gotten into an argument with the suspect inside of the bar. Then, shots were fired as they left the location. At the time, the identity of the alleged shooter was unclear.
Months later, investigators announced Blacksmith had been identified as a suspect in the shooting. On Nov. 22, 2023, officials said arrest warrants had been issued against Blacksmith for criminal homicide, attempted homicide, and felon in possession of a handgun.

4. Raceme L. Crutcher
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.
