IMPERIAL BEACH: Tennessee murder suspect arrested in SD County

(CNS) – A 41-year-old man wanted on suspicion of murder
in Tennessee was in custody in San Diego Tuesday, following his arrest in
Imperial Beach.

Troy Lynn King allegedly fled to Imperial Beach after fatally shooting
Thomas Colucci, 41, on Nov. 13 at the victim's home in Coffee County, Tenn.,
according to a statement from the U.S. Marshals Service.

Colucci worked as a stage manager for country singer Jo Dee Messina,
according to Nashville press.

King was arrested without incident in Imperial Beach on Wednesday,
according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department's website, which showed
him being held in San Diego Central Jail pending extradition.

The motive for the slaying was unclear, however a Tennessee grand jury
indicted King on both murder and theft charges, according to the U.S. Marshals
Service.
