There’s No Escaping Justice, Memphis Safe Task Force Ends Fugitives’ Run from Accountability

Memphis, TN — The Memphis Safe Task Force announces the arrests of three individuals on outstanding state warrants:

Tenesha Taylor, 38 — warrant for Threat of Mass Violence on School Property Kelly 

Young, 52 — warrant for Conspiracy, Unlawful Possession of Controlled Substance with Intent to Manufacture/Deliver/Sell and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia 

Treyvon Norwood, 24 — warrant for Failure to Appear, Domestic Assault 

On November 17, 2025, at approximately 12:00 p.m., Task Force members conducted an arrest operation at a residence in the area of Cottonwood Road in Memphis. Three subjects at the residence were found to possess outstanding warrants.

During the operation, Task Force members observed individuals fleeing toward the rear of the property. One male subject scaled a wooden privacy fence into a neighboring backyard and was quickly apprehended. He was later identified as Kelly Young.

Shortly thereafter, Tenesha Taylor was observed jumping over the same fence directly behind Young. Taylor sustained minor injuries during her attempt to flee. She was arrested and transported to a local area hospital for medical treatment related to her injuries. Treyvon Norwood was also arrested in the backyard of the residence before he was able to flee.

A handgun was located near the fence where Young and Taylor entered the neighboring yard. At the time of Taylor’s arrest, she also possessed a small amount of marijuana and suspected cocaine.

This operation reflects the Memphis Safe Task Force’s commitment to coordinated enforcement efforts and its mission to identify, apprehend, and hold accountable those who pose a threat to public safety.
