Michael Mosley is facing criminal homicide charges in the Dec. 21 stabbing deaths of Clayton Beathard and Paul Trapeni III in Nashville, Tenn.

Clayton, 22, was the younger brother of 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday that Mosley, 23, has been added to the state's Most Wanted List, and authorities said he's considered "armed and dangerous."

Mosley is facing "two counts of criminal homicide and one count of attempted criminal homicide," according to the Midtown Hills Precinct in Nashville.

A third unidentified victim, who's 21 years old, suffered injuries to his "arm and eye" and is recovering from those wounds.

According to Nashville Metro Police, the incident that resulted in the stabbings began when Mosley made "unwanted advancements" toward a female friend of Beathard, Trapeni and the third victim. After a verbal altercation, the dispute made its way outside The Dogwood Bar, where Mosley allegedly stabbed Beathard and Trapeni.
