Tennessee murder suspect on the run for months found after falling through ceiling during home search

Officers with the U.S. Marshals Service caught a lucky break when a murder suspect fell through a ceiling from an attic space where he was hiding.

The U.S. Marshals Service announced in a press release that agents captured 20-year-old Deario Wilkerson Monday, Aug. 26, months after a warrant for his arrest was issued in a fatal shooting in Memphis.

Authorities said Wilkerson was involved in the death of Troy Cunningham April 2.

Wilkerson had successfully evaded capture by law enforcement since the alleged crime.
