Here’s a fresh rewrite of the Derrick Taylor case report:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — An 18-year-old Memphis teen has been detained on a $1 million bond following a January 17, 2024 shooting that left a 93‑year‑old woman dead and two other women critically wounded  .

Police charged Derrion Taylor, who was 17 at the time of the incident, with first‑degree murder, two counts of attempted first‑degree murder, and two counts of aggravated assault after linking him to the shootings through homicide detective work  .

Taylor was arrested on July 24, 2025, by the U.S. Marshals Service at a residence on Colony Drive in Memphis. Authorities noted he had outstanding adult warrants at the time  .

During a juvenile court detention hearing, prosecutors argued Taylor posed a substantial public safety threat. The juvenile magistrate upheld that view, ordering him detained and setting bond at $1 million.

This case stems from a triple shooting in a South Memphis residence where Geraldine Harris, 93, died, and two others were critically injured. Investigators identified Taylor as the suspected gunfire instigator after extensive analysis and charged him in Juvenile Court accordingly  .
