The two men suspected in the shooting death of a highway patrol officer in Tipton County Saturday night have been identified, said Mark Gwynn, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations.

Alejandro Guana, 17, and Orlando Garcia, 19, both from Texas, were arrested at approximately 10 this morning when TBI investigators stormed their hotel room at the Best Western Hotel Downtown on Music Row, Gwynn said.

Authorities learned of the men’s location after they arrested two people early this morning who admitted driving Guana and Garcia to Nashville, the TBI said.

The names of the other two men were not released.

No charges have been filed in the case at this time, but Guana and Garcia are expected to be brought before a magistrate later today.
