Two Dead, Three Wounded In Tennessee Carjacking Spree
Investigators say suspect took his own life after high-speed chase. WSMV's Joshua Cole reports.
(WSMV/NBC News) — A man accused of killing two people and shooting three others as part of a carjacking and spree is dead.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says the suspect, 29-year-old Dangelo Dorsey of St. Louis, Missouri, took his own life after a brief chase along Interstate 24 in Coffee County.
Investigators say the incident all began around 9:30 a.m. when Dorsey opened fire inside a vehicle traveling westbound on Interstate 24. One person was shot and injured in that vehicle while a second occupant, identified as Darcey Johnson, 28, was shot and killed.
Immediately following, traffic in the area stopped, and Dorsey attempted to carjack a nearby driver and, in the process, fired into her vehicle, striking her in the hand. A truck driver in that same immediate area also sustained a gunshot wound to the face.
From there, Dorsey carjacked a Ford Mustang, and ordered the two people inside – who area church members identified as Phillip and Aileen Stevens – to drive him to their home in Morrison.
When they arrived, it appears Dorsey took two additional firearms from the home, swapped vehicles to a blue Toyota Rav4, and forced the couple to accompany him.
Philip Stevens, 23, was reported dead after Dorsey shot him and forced him from the vehicle.
