Nashville couple arrested after allegedly killing man in Donelson

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man and woman were arrested after allegedly shooting a 20-year-old outside a rental home in Donelson in August.

Both suspects were arrested Sunday after a domestic violence call in Clarksville. Police said during the call they noticed that 18-year-old Jeremiah Henderson and 20-year-old Markaisha Keal were both wanted on outstanding warrants for murder in Nashville.

Keal was brought back to Nashville and ticketed, but Henderson remains jailed in Montgomery County and will return after his issues in Clarksville are resolved.

They are accused of killing 20-year-old Xavier Johnson on August 19th. According to police, Keal and Johnson communicated via Instagram and met at an unused short-term rental home around 1 a.m.

Police say they lured him to the back of the house and Jeremiah Henderson shot Johnson multiple times. They then robbed him and left Nashville on a Greyhound bus for Biloxi, Mississippi.

At some point, the two returned to Middle TN and were arrested Sunday evening.
Keal is being held without bail.
