Two men have been arrested in the May 11 murder of James Welch.

Police confirmed 21-year-old Taurus D. Williams was arrested Wednesday afternoon at his home on West Trinity Lane by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.

According to reports, 24-year-old Roddarius Jenkins was arrested in Kentucky to be returned to Nashville in the future.

Welch, who was 22 at the time of his death, was shot and killed at Fallbrook Apartments on Dellway Villa Road.

Both Williams and Jenkins were indicted on first-degree murder charges.

An investigation showed robbery was the motive for the fatal shooting.

Authorities confirmed Jenkins, a convicted felon, was found guilty of robbery in 2015. For that conviction, he received a five-year sentence.
