Memphis Teen Held on $1M Bond for 2024 Triple Shooting, Murder

Memphis authorities have arrested 18-year-old Derrion Taylor and set his bond at $1 million in connection with a January 2024 triple shooting that resulted in the death of 93-year-old Geraldine Harris and injuries to two others. Taylor, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, was apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Service and faces charges including first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. During the detention hearing, a homicide detective testified about the threat Taylor poses to community safety, which influenced the juvenile magistrate's decision to detain him. In a separate case in Memphis, 22-year-old Lorenzo Davis was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and other offenses after a 15-year-old girl was shot in the jaw during an incident involving a handgun shown to minors. Additionally, in Nashville, a 16-year-old was arrested for his involvement in a robbery and shooting that injured two teenagers, stemming from a setup to steal the victims' gun. These incidents highlight ongoing concerns about gun violence involving juveniles in Tennessee communities.
