NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man and a woman have been arrested after they allegedly shot and killed a 20-year-old outside of a rental home in Donelson in August.

Police arrested the two in Clarksville after a domestic violence call on Sunday. Police said during the call they noticed that Jeremiah Henderson, 18, and Markaisha Keal, 20, were both wanted in Nashville on outstanding criminal homicide warrants.

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

They are accused of killing Xavier Johnson, 20, back on Aug. 19.

Police said Keal and Johnson were communicating through Instagram and met at an unused short-term rental home around 1 a.m.

Police said she lured him to the back of the home and Jeremiah Henderson shot Johnson multiple times. They then robbed him and left Nashville on a Greyhound bus to Biloxi, Mississippi.

At some point, the two returned to Middle Tennessee and were arrested Sunday night. Keal is being held without bond.
