RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Police in North Carolina have arrested two suspects wanted in the killing of a California tourist in Nashville, Tennessee.

Raleigh Police Department spokesman Jim Sughrue (shuh-GREW') says officers arrested 22-year-old Andy Francisco Nunez and 20-year-old Daniela Veronica Cruz, both from La Vergne, Tennessee, at a local motel Thursday night. They're being held in the Wake County jail.

Sughrue said Nashville police told his department they had information the two suspects were in Raleigh.

Nashville police said Teddy Grasset and a friend were walking near the Country Music Hall of Fame on Sept. 26 when a car pulled up behind them. The two ran in opposite directions and a gunman opened fire from the car.

Police believe the shooting stemmed from a robbery attempt.
