Nashville police seeking suspect in fatal stabbing of two men, including brother of San Francisco 49ers quarterback

Arrest warrants were taken out Monday night against Michael D. Mosley, 23, charging him with two counts of criminal homicide and one count of attempted criminal homicide, the Metro Nashville Police Department reported. Police are asking for the public's help in locating Mosley.

Clayton Beathard, 22, and Paul Trapeni III, 21, were stabbed and killed during a fight early Saturday outside the Dogwood Bar, according to Nashville police. Police said the stabbings appear to have resulted from an argument over a woman.

Beathard and Trapeni were stabbed in their sides and were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where they died, police said.

Another 21-year-old man who was stabbed was hospitalized with wounds to his eye and arm, according to a news release from the Metro Nashville Police Department.

Nashville police are seeking this man for questioning in the death of Clayton Beathard.

Police had posted a photo of a man taken by a surveillance camera and asked for help identifying him. Police didn't say whether the man was a suspect, but wrote that he is wanted for questioning.
