Anthony Green, 25, had been convicted of first-degree murder on September 24, 2025, but was erroneously released from Shelby County Jail the same day, the Marshals said. Acting on a tip that he was hiding at a relative's apartment, task force members breached the front door on October 21 after someone was seen trying to jump from a rear bedroom window; Green surrendered and was taken to the Shelby County Criminal Justice Center without further incident.
