Three suspects have been charged in connection with a shooting that killed one Murfreesboro man and injured another earlier this week, according to the Murfreesboro Police Department. 

MPD detectives interviewed Lesean Janell Savage, 20, Kyle Fugett, 20, and Chasitie Smith, 23, as possible suspects and subsequently charged the trio with first-degree murder for their involvement in the death of Dylan Biddle Jr.

They are currently being held without bond at the Rutherford County Sherriff’s Department.

Additional arrests are expected as this investigation is ongoing.

MPD was responded at 5:47 p.m. Wednesday to 1311 Old Lascassas Rd. for a report of a gunshot victim.

Officers discovered the victim, Dylan Biddle Jr., 27, of Murfreesboro. He was treated on scene by Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department personnel and transported to Saint Thomas Rutherford by Rutherford County Emergency Medical Services where he was pronounced deceased a short time later.

Five minutes later, officers responded to a second call at 1807 Greenland Drive for a gunshot victim who was looking for a ride to the hospital.

The second victim, identified as Albert Mustapha, 20, of Murfreesboro, was treated on scene by MFRD personnel and transported to Saint Thomas by Rutherford County EMS.

He was later transferred to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville for further treatment. He is currently in critical condition.

This investigation is still in the preliminary stages. Updates, including any suspect information, will be updated as it becomes available.
