Rutherford/Murfreesboro: Suspect in February 1st Shooting Taken Into Custody

 

Attempted homicide suspect Dumonta Burns turned himself in at court Tuesday morning after authorities say he shot a man on Feb. 1.

 

Burns appeared in court on an unrelated case when deputies served warrants charging him with attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and failure to appear. Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office deputies took him into custody.

 

The 24-year-old is accused of shooting a man on Sulphur Springs Road on Sunday, Feb. 1.  Investigators say the shooting stemmed from a past altercation between family members.

 

Burns is being held on a $300,000 bond at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center. His next hearing is scheduled for March 9 in Rutherford County General Sessions Court.
