Two men allegedly responsible for the January 3rd murder of Smyrna resident Adrin B. Ohaekwe, 22, are in custody.

Glenn Roby Jr., 24, and Ohaekwe are alleged to have been involved in a drug-related shooting/robbery at a Smyrna home the night before Ohaekwe's murder. Smyrna police early on January 3rd swore out an arrest warrant charging Ohaekwe and Roby with especially aggravated robbery.

Investigation by Hermitage Precinct Detective Donnell Barr shows that Roby contacted Kevyn Allen, 27, after the robbery and Ohaekwe was murdered during a disagreement between the men. Ohaekwe was discovered around 6:30 a.m. by a man walking along Old Smith Springs Road. Witnesses in the area reported hearing sounds that may have been gunshots around 1:05 a.m.

Allen, of Nashville, is charged with first degree murder and is jailed in lieu of $350,000 bond. Roby, of Spring Hill, has been jailed in the Rutherford County Jail on charges from the Smyrna drug-related shooting/robbery since he surrendered himself on January 3rd, the day after the incident. Roby will be returned to Nashville in the near future to be charged with Ohaekwe's murder.

Mackenzie Colling, 19, of Fairview, is charged with accessory after the fact and tampering with evidence for assisting Roby after the murder. She is free on $100,000 bond.
