BEECHGROVE, TN (WSMV) - The search has ended for an "armed and dangerous" suspect after a deadly shooting on Interstate 24 Sunday morning in Coffee County.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says the suspect, 29-year-old Dangelo Dorsey of St. Louis, MO, is no longer a threat to public safety after a brief chase along I-24 east.
Investigators say the incident all began around 9:30 a.m. when Dorsey opened fire inside a vehicle traveling westbound on Interstate 24 near Beechgrove in Coffee County. 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 onto the side of I-24 at exit 111-B.
Shortly after 3:30 p.m., Dorsey was located in the vehicle traveling eastbound on I-24. A brief chase ensued, reaching speeds of approximately 100 miles an hour and at approximately 3:45 pm resulted in a crash, where Dorsey flipped the Rav4.

Aileen Stevens was found safe in the backseat of the vehicle.
Dorsey was believed to be traveling through the area and may have had a connection with the hostage killed and left on the Interstate.
Agents are also investigating multiple carjackings in surrounding counties that may be related.
ONLY a fatal bullet changes their behavior.
Yes; I didn’t find how far along she is. Concerns me that the vehicle flipped; hope she doesn’t lose the baby. The article does say she was unharmed in the back seat so maybe she was belted in securely.
If they ever dig into his background in Illinois, it will probably state “a lengthy record”, which pisses me off no end. The nameless/faceless people who consistently return this piece human garbage back into society should be exposed. As of now, they can continue to make these mistakes or forward their agenda and never be called to account.
