The third suspect involved in the murder of a tourist in downtown Nashville has been taken into custody.
Authorities confirmed late Sunday night that 25-year-old Joseph Santillan surrendered to police and was placed in Metro Jail.
According to reports, two other suspects, identified 22-year-old Andy Nunez and 20-year-old Daniela Cruz, were arrested days before in North Carolina.
The suspects were wanted for criminal homicide in the death of 30-year-old Teddy Grasset.
Grasset was fatally shot on September 25 while walking down 4th Avenue South near the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
?He and his friend, 28-year-old Larry Niehues, had been visiting from Los Angeles when they were approached by two suspects who got out of a silver Impala – one from the front passenger seat and the other from the rear passenger side.
Surveillance video showed Grasset and his friend run away from the area. At that point, one of the suspects opened fire and fatally shot Grasset.
?Niehues spoke with NewsChannel 5 via Skype just a few days after the murder.
"Why us? We didn't do anything wrong. We’re like two kids walking in the street and why," he said to reporter Dan Kennedy. "Nobody deserves to be killed for nothing, you know."
No further details were available.
