Authorities in Tennessee were on the hunt for a murder suspect when he dramatically crashed through the ceiling.

Deario Wilkerson, a fugitive wanted in connection with a fatal shooting in Tennessee earlier this year, was captured after falling through the ceiling of a Memphis home where he was hiding. Wilkerson, 20, was taken into custody on charges of first-degree murder and reckless endangerment-deadly weapon in connection with the killing of Troy Cunningham on April 2. Cunningham was shot in the back of the head as he tried to flee after the suspects stole his gun and fired it at him. Wilkerson was one of three suspects identified in the killing, with the other two previously arrested and charged. An arrest warrant was issued for Wilkerson in May. Authorities surrounded the home where Wilkerson was hiding and he tried to hide in the attic before crashing through the ceiling. It is unclear if Wilkerson has a lawyer to speak on his behalf as court records do not list one.
