Man sought on murder, robbery charges now considered top ‘Most Wanted’ fugitive by MNPD

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A new man is now considered the top “most wanted” fugitive from justice by the Metro Nashville Police Department.

For more than a year, Dadiri Muhina was considered the most wanted individual by the MNPD for his role in a 2021 shooting that killed 16-year-old Ja’Niya Birdsong and injured another teen. He was wanted on a grand jury indictment for multiple counts, including first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, solicitation to commit first-degree murder, attempted murder and tampering with evidence.

Muhina was finally arrested at the beginning of June by MNPD TITANS Unit detectives.
