UPDATE: Suspect charged in murder case

Posted
A suspect in the Wednesday night shooting death of Charles Dejuan Mayes was arrested tonight (Thursday).
Mikayla Bowen, 23, of Shelbyville, is charged with criminal homicide, Detective Lt. Charles Merlo of the Shelbyville Police Department said.
Mayes was the father of Bowen's children, according to Merlo.
"It appears to have been a robbery but we're working to narrow that down," Merlo said.
Bowen is being held on $1 million bond.
More arrests are anticipated, Merlo said.
Mayes was shot in the head at his Chestnut Drive home and died while being transported to Vanderbilt-Bedford Hospital.
Another man, whose identity has not been released, showed up at the hospital with a gunshot wound to the back moments later, police said. He was airlifted to a Nashville hospital and underwent an operation this (Thursday) morning.
