Suspect in Fatal West Nashville Stabbing Arrested in the Bronx

NASHVILLE, TN — The suspect in a fatal stabbing behind a West Nashville trucking company has been arrested in New York.

U.S. Marshals arrested Christopher William Gadsden, 26, in the Bronx Thursday for the November 15 murder of Deon Brown, whose body was found behind a trucking company on Centennial Boulevard.

Gadsden was allegedly spotted the next day in Hickory, N.C. driving Brown's Pontiac G6, which Hickory police said had blood on both the inside and outside. Nashville detectives traveled to North Carolina in an effort to apprehend Gadsden, who was initially named as a person of interest before ultimately being declared the prime suspect in the murder of Brown, a Nashville cosmetologist.

Gadsden's return to Nashville is pending.
