The U.S. Marshals have arrested Andrew St. Louis, a 19-year-old from Florida, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on suspicion of multiple serious offenses including first-degree murder. According to WSMV, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office reported that St. Louis was apprehended without incident at a residence on North Rutherford Boulevard following an arrest warrant issued last Wednesday by the circuit court in Broward County, Florida.
St. Louis has been charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder utilizing a firearm. The U.S. Marshals Service, Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force, had gathered intelligence that led them to believe St. Louis was residing in the Murfreesboro area and subsequently coordinated with Middle Tennessee Fugitive Task Force for his capture, as WGNS Radio confirms.
Following the arrest, "St. Louis was booked into the Rutherford County jail as a fugitive from justice and is awaiting extradition to Florida," detailed the FOX 17 News report. The law enforcement operation highlights the U.S. Marshals Service's continuing mission to protect communities by tracking down and apprehending violent fugitives.
Notably, the Middle Tennessee Fugitive Task Force operates as a multi-agency collaboration that includes Deputy U.S. Marshals, sheriff’s deputies, Metro Nashville Police officers, agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, special agents from the Tennessee Department of Correction, and the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
All individuals arrested are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. The arrest of Andrew St. Louis is not evidence of guilt and does not confirm that a crime has been committed.
