On July 20, 2023, 25-year-old Javeon Bowden was shot during a road rage confrontation in Memphis, Tennessee. Bowden was a passenger in a Toyota Corolla with two others when a passenger in a Nissan Altima opened fire. He was taken to Methodist South Hospital and died from his injuries.

Memphis Police used license plate readers to identify the Altima and traced it to 25-year-old Rozell Hughes, who was named as the suspected shooter. A warrant charging Hughes with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder was issued on July 24, 2023. Hughes remained at large for months while multiple agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force, searched for him.

An anonymous CrimeStoppers tip led officers to a South Third Street residence, and on October 11, 2023, Memphis Police Fugitive Squad members and U.S. Marshals arrested Hughes without incident. Does anyone with knowledge of the July 20 incident or the vehicles involved have information to share?
