One investigation began with a man found dead in September; the other followed a fatal shooting early on 4 October. Memphis Police brought the two updates together in a release dated 5 October, reporting arrests and murder charges in separate cases.

The first concerns Cannon Street, where officers responded on 21 September. The department says a 35-year-old man has been charged with murder in the perpetration of a robbery. Its release gives 3 October as his arrest date, while corroborating WREG reporting describes a Sunday arrest. That discrepancy remains unresolved here.

The second concerns Yosemite Court. Police say officers found a man with a fatal gunshot wound early on 4 October. A 26-year-old suspect was subsequently located at an Arkansas hospital and faces a murder charge and additional firearms allegations. The release says he was awaiting extradition to Shelby County.

Those charges state the prosecution allegations; they do not establish guilt. The sources reviewed do not provide a trial verdict in either case. They also do not establish that the two killings share offenders or an operational connection. We keep the files separate and avoid treating a police clearance statistic as a conviction rate.
