Joshua Jones, 42, was shot multiple times and found dead inside his Cordova, Tennessee home on Kraton Ridge Drive in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 9, 2026. Deputies from the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office discovered him on the side of his bed after a FaceTime call listener heard the shots and Jones’s girlfriend requested a welfare check. Jones was known locally by his rap name Hungry Money Caso.

Also in the home during the shooting was Jones’s 18-year-old son. Investigators quickly focused on an 18-year-old man who had been living with Jones and treated like a son, identified as Dennis Fentress, and the sheriff’s office issued a warrant for his arrest. Fentress was taken into custody in West Memphis, Arkansas, by the Crittenden County Sheriff’s Office on Monday, May 11, 2026, on the outstanding warrant and unrelated charges. He is being held pending extradition to Tennessee on first-degree murder, especially aggravated robbery, theft valued between $10,000 and $60,000, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

The motive has not been released; those close to Jones describe a profound sense of betrayal. Did anyone in Cordova or the Memphis music scene know of tensions between Jones and the person staying in his home?
