May 31 (UPI) — Tennessee authorities charged a woman with murder in connection with the slaying of Dickson County Sheriff’s Sgt. Daniel Baker as police searched Thursday for a second suspect.
Erika Castro-Miles, 38, faces one count of first-degree murder for the Wednesday shooting. An affidavit said she told police she watched as Steven Wiggins shot and killed Baker.
Police launched a manhunt for Wiggins, 31, in connection with the shooting after Baker’s body was found in his vehicle. Baker had been responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle called in by a nearby resident around 7 a.m., the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said.
Castro-Miles allegedly fled the scene after the shooting and police found her hiding underneath a house nearby.
Police believe Wiggins to be armed and dangerous. He had multiple active warrants before the shooting, including for aggravated assault and theft after he allegedly slapped Castro-Miles, pulled her hair and stole her vehicle.
