On October 24, 2025, felony warrants were issued for the arrest of Tra-Shawn Robinson out of Shelby County, Tennessee. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office requested the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force in locating and apprehending Robinson. The Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force developed information that Robinson had fled the Memphis area and traveled to Grenada, Mississippi and requested the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force of Northern Mississippi in capturing Robinson.

On November 19, 2025, Deputy U.S. Marshals of the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force tracked Robinson to a residence in the 174th block of West Monroe Street in Grenada. With the assistance of the Grenada County Sheriff’s Office, Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, Winona Police Department K9, and Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks Unit, law enforcement surrounded the residence and demanded Robinson exit. Robinson then barricaded himself within the residence and refused to surrender to law enforcement. After several hours, US Marshals entered the structure and located Robinson lying in a bathtub with a machete style knife and numerous lacerations to his arms. Robinson was taken into custody and was transported by ambulance to a local hospital for further medical care.
