MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (September 23, 2025) — A nearly two-year undercover investigation involving illegal drugs, gang activity, and firearms has resulted in the indictment of 33 people, following a 2023 overdose death of a Murfreesboro man.

Detectives from the Murfreesboro Police Department’s Special Investigations Section and agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation launched the joint investigation in November 2023 after an individual died from a fatal overdose. Detectives from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) also took part in the investigation.

In early 2024, investigators identified multiple suppliers connected to the overdose death. Officers executed residential search warrants in Murfreesboro, confiscating large quantities of fentanyl powder and pills.
