Johnson City murder suspects awaits court hearing after Virginia capture

A murder suspect could have an extradition hearing this week after his capture in Bristol, Virginia.

King Miller, Jr., 35, fled the scene of the shooting just before 10 p.m. Friday night in the 1700 block of Nathaniel Road and a city apartment complex.

In those short hours, Miller had been added to the TBI’s most wanted list. He was found and arrested by US Marshals and Bristol police and is now held in the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail without bond. Family members on social media have identified Friday’s shooting victim as Courtney Mathes of Johnson City.

Miller also faces charges of aggravated child endangerment, plus a weapon and drug charge.
