BREAKING: A 27-year-old Detroit man has been indicted for a shocking double homicide following a shooting on Interstate 640 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Dashonn Moten faces serious charges, including two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony murder, in connection with the deaths of Troy Hutchison, aged 33, and Rodrell Jeter, aged 25.
