Traffic stop leads police to murder suspect

Posted:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -

An early morning traffic Friday could help Metro detectives solve a murder committed earlier this month.

Just after 4 a.m., police stopped a Dodge Charger on James Robertson Parkway's Victory Memorial Bridge because the vehicle matched the description of a vehicle involved in an earlier robbery.

During the stop, officers realized the vehicle also matched the description of a vehicle possibly connected to the murder of 20-year-old Marcio Murphy.

Murphy was found dead in an apartment off Murfreesboro Pike last week.

Police took the driver of the Dodge into custody for questioning.

Additional information was not released.
