Two men have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a Krispy Kreme delivery driver back in 2016.  

According to an affidavit from Metro Nashville Police, 22-year-old Savion Wilson was booked in the Davidson County jail on $800,000 bond. Officers located 20-year-old Daquan Fields later Monday afternoon in La Vergne.

Wilson has been accused, along with Fields, in the shooting death of 61-year-old Al Baker, a Krispy Kreme delivery driver, back on December 4. 

Fields allegedly shot at the delivery truck Baker was sitting in outside a Mapco on Donelson Pike during a robbery.

During a press conference Monday, police said Wilson drove Fields to the Mapco on the night of the incident. Police said Fields shot Baker as he ran from the scene. 

Both suspects have been charged with first-degree murder in the case.  

For family members, the arrests bring closure.

"I just feel really good knowing I will finally get justice," said Faye Baker, Al Baker's wife of 19 years.  

She said Al worked at Krispy Kreme almost 32 years and loved his job.  To honor him, she has redecorated his office with photos and awards he received throughout his time with the company.

She said she has relied on her family, friends and faith to help her cope with her loss.

"They don't realize what a wonderful man they killed," said Faye Baker.  "They don't know anything about him or what he was about."

Metro police said they don't expect to make any more arrests in the case.
