Memphis, TN– The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) in the Western District of Tennessee
and the District of Minnesota coordinated to capture a fugitive, Jaylon Remus, 25, of
Memphis. Remus was wanted for first degree murder, aggravated assault, especially
aggravated robbery, and reckless endangerment out of Shelby County, Tennessee.
On September 4, 2024, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Remus out of Shelby
County. The USMS Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force (TRVFTF) in Memphis
adopted the case the same day. The TRVFTF developed information that Remus had fled
to the Minneapolis area and requested the USMS in Minnesota for help in locating him.
On October 21st, deputy marshals from the Northstar Fugitive Task Force in Minneapolis
tracked Remus to a family member’s house in the City of Medina outside the
Minneapolis area. Remus surrendered to deputies at the front door of the residence and is
pending extradition back to Tennessee.
The U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force is a multi-agency task force within Western
Tennessee. The TRVFTF has offices in Memphis and Jackson, and its membership is primarily composed of
Deputy U.S. Marshals, Shelby, Fayette, and Tipton County Sheriff’s Deputies, Memphis and Jackson Police
Officers, the Tennessee Department of Correction Special Agents and the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Since
