Suspect arrested in slaying of Nashville ICU nurse Jessica Schladebeck
Authorities in Tennessee have arrested a suspect in the murder of an intensive care unit nurse, who was fatally shot while she was commuting to work last week.
Devaunte Hill was taken into custody early Friday morning by Metro Nashville Police Department SWAT team members at his home in Berkshire Place Apartments, according to authorities. He is facing a criminal homicide charge in the slaying of Caitlyn Kaufman.
The 26-year-old was on her way to Saint Thomas West Hospital for a 7 p.m. shift when a gunman opened fire on her gray Mazda SUV. Her body was found hours later by an officer, who initially believed her car had been involved in a single-vehicle crash.
