NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man wanted for aggravated assault charges who was last seen in Murfreesboro is the latest addition to the Metro Nashville Police Department's list of "Most Wanted" fugitives.

The list is updated each week on the Metro Nashville Police Department 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.

Fugitives featured on the list are frequently wanted on indictments for capital offenses like murder or sex crimes; others featured have multiple domestic violence charges.

Since the list was first launched in October 2022, at least 178 people featured 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 22 arrests of those featured on the “Most Wanted” list, and 68 arrests in 2024.

Below is the list of suspects who made the department's "Most Wanted" list for the week of July 9, 2025.

De’Tynn Smith, 21, is wanted for multiple felonies, including first-degree premeditated murder, attempted first-degree premeditated murder, aggravated robbery and using a weapon during the commission of a dangerous felony.

Smith has previous criminal history in Nashville, according to police records.

In 2022, Smith, then 18, was charged with another 18-year-old with carjacking, evading arrest and vehicle theft.

According to MNPD, Smith and Alan Beverly admitted to carjacking a woman’s Chevrolet Malibu and threatening her 8-year-old son at gunpoint in late May of 2022. The victim told authorities she’d gone into a Jefferson Street market around 8:30 p.m. when the passenger of a Ford F-150 pickup truck got out and approached her car, threatening her son with a pistol and pushing him out of the car.

Detectives located the vehicle at a Walmart on Dickerson Pike. Both Smith and Beverly fled on foot but were apprehended. Smith also tossed the pistol, which was recovered by police.

Smith has made multiple appearances on the “Most Wanted” list, including a stint in 2023 where he was also considered the “Top Most Wanted” fugitive. He was last added back to the list in December 2024.

Police said anyone with information as to Smith’s whereabouts should contact MNPD by calling 615-862-8600 or by calling 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.

3. Devon A. Martak
