Bohning, 34, is suspected of fatally stabbing a man and seriously wounding his wife in an attack Friday in Nashville.

Police in Nashville said over the weekend that they were searching for Bohning, who is from Kent. The Metropolit­an Nashville Police Department posted on social media Saturday that arrest warrants were issued for the man, with charges of murder and attempted murder.

Police said that a man walked up to the West Nashville home of Donald and Leigh Ann Zirkle about 3:30 p.m. Friday. The couple was sitting on the back porch, 58-year-old Leigh Ann Zirkle told police, when the man, who they did not know, approached and asked for directions.

The man then attacked the couple with a “sharp instrument,” and Leigh Ann Zirkle managed to escape out of the home’s front door and into the street.
