After weeks on the run, Anntenika Brown's time as a fugitive ended yesterday when the U.S. Marshals swooped in and arrested her in Memphis, marking the close of a chase that began in the aftermath of a fatal shooting earlier this year. According to a press release from the U.S. Marshals Service, Brown was wanted for the January 13th murder of Jeffery Washington, whose life was claimed by gunfire at a residence on Cottonwood.
The hunt for Brown escalated quickly, with a warrant out for her arrest the following day as the Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force took the lead on the investigation yesterday. Members of the task force tracked Brown to a residence on McCorkle Road, where she was apprehended. Despite her initial attempts to conceal her true identity, the team positively identified the 45-year-old suspect. It took her into custody without any drama, transporting her to the Shelby County Detention Center, where now she must face the weight of the law.
This arrest underscores the persistent efforts of the U.S. Marshals and their collaborating agencies within the Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force (TRVFTF), an assembly notable for its multi-agency makeup and significant track record.
