Body of murder suspect discovered on the banks of the Cumberland River in Kentucky

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The body of a murder suspect has been discovered on the banks of the Cumberland River in Kentucky.

37-year-old Darrion Young was wanted for the strangulation murder of his girlfriend, 26-year-old Kierra Timmons, who was found inside Young's Antioch apartment on March 14.

Police say this confirms that he jumped from an I-24 bridge into the river in mid-March.

On Monday, someone close to the river shoreline in Kuttawa, Kentucky, discovered a body and notified authorities.
