DICKSON COUNTY, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has charged a Dickson woman with murder in connection with the death of Dickson County deputy Sergeant Daniel Baker.
During the course of the investigation, authorities developed information that Erika Castro-Miles (DOB 9-5-79) participated in the incident. She has been charged with one count of first degree murder and remains in the custody of the Dickson County Jail.
An additional person-of-interest in Sgt. Baker’s death, Steven Wiggins (an acquaintance of Castro-Miles), remains at large and should be considered armed and dangerous. Wiggins is subject of a Tennessee Blue Alert and has also been added to the state’s Top 10 Most Wanted list. There is currently a reward of up to $7,500 for information leading to his arrest.
Castro-Miles is the woman who filed a domestic complaint against Wiggins Tuesday night, leading to domestic assault warrants being issued for him, according to WKRN News 2.
She told police Wiggins slapped her in the face and pulled her hair out. She also reported he put a gun to her head and told her he was “going to kill her if she called the police.”
According to a police report, Wiggins got Castro-Miles’ keys and took her car without permission.
Deputies said a call came in around 7 a.m. Wednesday morning about a “suspicious vehicle” on Sam Vineyard Road. Sgt. Daniel Baker responded to the scene.
Baker was later found dead inside his patrol car about two or three miles away from the initial scene. The deputy’s GPS system was used to locate his patrol car after there had not been any contact with him.
Wiggins is still at large and a manhunt is currently underway. He has been added to the TBI’s top 10 most wanted list.
It is unknown if Wiggins is still on foot or if he has gained access to a vehicle.
