Geraldine Harris, a 93-year-old Black woman, was shot and killed in her home on Kendale Avenue in Memphis on the evening of January 17, 2024. When officers arrived they found three female victims struck by gunfire; Ms. Harris died at the scene and two other women were taken to a hospital with critical injuries.

Investigators identified Derrion Taylor, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, as a suspect. He was arrested at a home on Colony Drive on July 24, 2025, and initially charged in Juvenile Court with first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, and two counts of aggravated assault. A Juvenile Magistrate ordered Taylor detained with bond set at $1 million.

In March 2026 the case was transferred to adult criminal court and the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting the original charges. A 93-year-old woman was killed in her own home and two others were critically injured; why did this happen and does anyone have information that could help the investigation?
