NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two men wanted for assault charges are the latest additions to the Metro Nashville Police Department's list of "Most Wanted" fugitives.

Each week the MNPD Criminal Warrants Division posts a list of the Top 10 “Most Wanted” fugitives on their Facebook page. The list features the people who have evaded capture by law enforcement and are considered the top most wanted by the department. 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 debuted in October 2022, more than 165 people featured on it have been apprehended or surrendered to law enforcement, including those captured out of county or even out of state. In 2025 alone, there have been nearly a dozen arrests of those featured on the “Most Wanted” list, and 68 “Most Wanted” arrests in 2024.

Below is a list of suspects who made the "Most Wanted" list for the week of May 7, 2025.

1. Dadiri Muhina

According to police, Dadiri 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.

2. Raceme L. Crutcher

Raceme Crutcher, 23, 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.
