On a day marked by coordinated action, the U.S. Marshals Service made quick work of tracking down two individuals charged with first-degree murder, bringing them into custody away from the Memphis streets they once roamed. In a report released by the U.S. Marshals Service, it was revealed that Marco McGhee, a 19-year-old fugitive, was found hiding out at a Memphis residence on Tuesday.
While police had been called to a Bellevue Boulevard home on October 15, 2024, where they discovered a gravely wounded man, the net of justice would only close in on McGhee following an indictment issued on June 6. According to the Marshals Service, a second arrest of Kaylon Spivey, 24, took place on the same day. Working a shift at a fast-food joint in Indianapolis, Spivey was unaware that officers from the Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force, tipped off by the Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force, would bring his interval from the law to an end.
Spivey's alleged involvement in a fatal shooting and subsequent criminal activities dates back almost five years to September 6, 2020. "Following an investigation by MPD, Spivey was indicted, and warrants were issued on April 28, 2025, through Shelby County Criminal Court for First-Degree Murder, Carjacking, and Especially Aggravated Robbery," as stated in the Marshal's press release.
Expressing support for local law enforcement's efforts in apprehending the accused felons, Tyreece Miller, U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Tennessee, told the U.S. Marshals Service, "We commend the investigative work of the Memphis Police Department in solving these two heinous crimes." Miller articulates confidence in the resolve of the Marshals Service, promising the relentless pursuit of offenders, "no matter where they think they can hide."
Hailing from offices in Memphis and Jackson, the Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force (TRVFTF) has a multi-agency makeup, primarily composed of Deputy U.S. Marshals, along with local law enforcement personnel. Reflecting on their track record, the TRVFTF has been prolific since its inception in 2021, having captured over 3,000 violent offenders and sexual predators, a testament to the dedication of those who strive to maintain public safety and order.
