Michael Mosley, the man accused of stabbing and killing Tucker Beathard's brother Clayton, was indicted by a Nashville grand jury on Tuesday (June 16).
According to WSMV news, Mosley is being charged with two counts of first degree murder/premeditated, one count of attempted first degree murder/premeditated and one count of assault.
Mosley is accused of killing 22-year-old Clayton Beathard and 21-year-old Paul Trapeni III outside the Dogwood Bar in downtown Nashville on December 21, 2019. Police arrived to the scene shortly before 3 a.m after an argument that started inside the bar got violent after moving outside.
The report revealed that the incident began over "an unwanted advancement made by a man toward a woman in the bar." Within seconds of the fight starting, police say Mosley stabbed Beathard and Trapeni in the chest. Another victim, 21-year-old AJ Bethurum also sustained injuries to his eye and arm.
Mosley quickly fled the scene and was captured days later, on December 25, at an abandoned house near Cheatham County. On January 7, General Sessions Judge Melissa Blackburn decided that the evidence was sufficient enough for the case to move forward to the grand jury.
Clayton Beathard had just finished his junior year at Long Island University where he also played football. He's the brother to San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback C.J. Beathard as well as country music singer Tucker Beathard. He is the son of famed country songwriter Casey Beathard and his wife Susan.
