An ongoing and joint investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Bledsoe County Sheriff’s Department and the Pikeville Police Department has resulted in additional arrests in the April homicide of a Pikeville man.

At the request of 12^th District Attorney General J. Michael Taylor, TBI agents joined Bledsoe County deputies and Pikeville Police officers in a missing-person investigation. Thomas R. Rogers, age 30, of Pikeville had been reported missing by a family member. The following day, a deputy later found Rogers’ body in a wooded area off Valley View Road in Pikeville. During the course of the investigation, agents and deputies developed information that resulted in 25-year-old Nakayla Sullivan being charged in connection with the homicide. Through the ongoing investigation, further information was developed indicating 22-year-old Marcelino Leal and 30-year-old Keiven Bundy also had involvement in Rogers’ death.

This week, the Bledsoe County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Sullivan with one count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. Leal is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, employing a firearm with intent to go armed, and aggravated assault. Bundy is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, employing a firearm with intent to go armed, and possession of weapon by a convicted felon. All three were booked at the Bledsoe County Jail, where they are currently being held without bond.
