Law enforcement captured the man accused of murdering four people at a Nashville area Waffle House after a 36-hour manhunt.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department arrested 29-year-old Travis Reinking near his apartment Monday after a tipster reported seeing a suspicious person walking into the woods. A loaded pistol was recovered from his backpack during the apprehension, according to a news release.
Reinking faces four counts of criminal homicide after opening fire at the restaurant just before 3:30 a.m. Sunday, wearing only a jacket and armed with an AR-15 and two magazines. He killed two people in the parking lot before shooting six more inside.
A customer thwarted the attack when he charged Reinking, tossing his rifle over a counter and dragging him back outside. Reinking fled and evaded police capture for more than a day afterward.
Those dead include Taurean C. Sanderlin, 29; Joe R. Perez, 20; DeEbony Groves, 21 and Akilah Dasilva, 23. Two other women — 21-year-old Shanita Waggoner and 24-year-old Sharita Henderson — were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for gunshot wounds, according to law enforcement.
