Memphis, TN – On February 23 and 24, 2026, members of the Memphis Safe Task Force (MSTF) arrested four individuals on four separate warrants for four separate murders.

Javarion Ford, 19, was arrested for 1st Degree Murder, Aggravated Robbery, and Employment of a Firearm in Commission of a Felony at the 3600 Block of Millbranch Road. He is wanted for a homicide that was committed on February 20, 2026.

Marvin Lanehart, 32, a known gang member, was arrested on a warrant for a March 16, 2025, homicide that occurred in the 1400 block of Briarcrest. While serving the warrant at the 600 block of North Avant Lane, he was also charged with Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Reckless Endangerment.

Felipe Canelo Vega, 27, was arrested in Hearne, Texas on a Shelby County 2nd Degree Murder warrant. Members of the MSTF worked with the USMS District of West Texas to facilitate Vega’s arrest.

Lorenzo Miller, 34, was arrested in the 2000 block of Ridgeway Road on a warrant for Vehicular Homicide.

“In one day, we were able to get four of the worst of the worst off the street,” said U.S. Marshals Service Chief Inspector Chad Hunt, Commander of the Memphis Safe Task Force. “Thankfully, we were able to capture these four suspects before they were able to do any further harm to Memphians. This is why we are here doing what we are doing.”

Since the launch of the Memphis Safe Task Force initiative, officers have made 6,497 arrests and seized 1,053 illegal firearms, as well as substantial quantities of narcotics, and related contraband. These enforcement actions reflect a sustained commitment to reducing violent crime and removing dangerous weapons from Memphis neighborhoods.

Launched in September 2025, the Memphis Safe Task Force is a multi-agency initiative to combat violent crime in Memphis. Composed of federal, state, and local law enforcement, as well as the Tennessee National Guard, the task force is focused on arresting violent criminals, clearing warrants, seizing firearms, and locating missing children.

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.
