MEMPHIS, Tenn. (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — The U.S. Marshals Service has confirmed a North Texas man suspected of killing a person by pushing them out of a moving car has been arrested in Tennessee.

Demario Montague was arrested on May 13 by a fugitive task force in Memphis, the Marshals Service said in a news release.

A murder arrest warrant was issued for Montague, who authorities said pushed a person from a moving car in Dallas on March 31. Authorities said the victim was then struck by a semi tractor-trailer and died.

Montague will be extradited to Texas to face the murder charge. It was not immediately clear whether he had a lawyer to speak on his behalf about the charge.
