Police in Tennessee are searching for a 36-year-old Nashville man they allege killed his former boss with a hatchet Monday morning.
“[Micheli was] armed with a hatchet and what may have been another hatchet, or perhaps a large knife, and attacked the victim,” police spokesman Don Aaron told reporters.
Micheli used to work at the fitness center but was fired 14 months ago, Aaron told reporters on Monday.
“We’re not aware of some recent contact between the two,” he added.
