Memphis, Tennessee – U.S. Marshal Tyreece Miller announces the capture of Cornell

On October 8, 2021, an arrest warrant for one count of Capital Murder was issued for
Brown. The West Arkansas Task Force (WATF) received information that Brown was in
the Memphis area.
On October 20, 2021, the West Arkansas Task Force requested the assistance of the Two
Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force (TRVFTF) out of Memphis in locating and
apprehending Brown.
Tuesday morning, the TRVFTF went to an address on Double Tree Street in Memphis.
As deputies approached the residence, the front door was abruptly shut. The front door
then opened again, and Brown surrendered to deputies without incident.
U.S. Marshal Tyreece Miller stated, “The successful capture of fugitives on the run
requires effective coordination and teamwork between multiple agencies working
together across the country.”
