Murder suspects Robert Williams and Stephanie Hudson, charged in the December 18th stabbing death of Good Samaritan Jerry McEwen outside the Thompson Lane Kroger store, are back in Nashville.
Metro officers this afternoon returned the couple from Jackson, Mississippi, where they were arrested at the home of Williams’ sister on December 20th.
Williams, 52, an ex-convict who was on parole at the time of the murder, and Hudson, also an ex-convict, are being held in the Metro Jail without bond.
Jerry McEwen, 54, of Coarsey Drive, was fatally stabbed in the chest as he attempted to stop Williams, who had just robbed a 60-year-old woman of her purse in the Kroger parking lot. The robbery victim fell to the ground during a struggle with Williams, but was not seriously hurt. Hudson drove Williams away from the scene in her 1991 Ford Explorer, which was recovered in Mississippi.
