CASE OF THE DAY:

Jetarius Young was held to state on First-Degree Murder and Employing a Firearm During the Commission of a Dangerous Felony following a preliminary hearing on August 28, 2026.

Held to state means the judge found probable cause for the case to proceed to the grand jury.

The charges stem from a June 25, 2026 shooting on Ioka Avenue that left a male victim dead.

Homicide investigators identified Young as the suspect responsible for the shooting.

Young remains in custody with no bond set.

Co-defendant Michael Wallace’s case was previously held to state.

SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. — Daireus Ice was sentenced Wednesday to 65 years in prison at 100% for the 2018 kidnapping and r**e of a 4-year-old girl.

Judge Chris Craft imposed the maximum sentence on each of the three charges for which a Shelby County jury found Ice guilty last year:

R**e of a Child: 40 years at 100%

Especially Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor: 12 years at 100%

Especially Aggravated Kidnapping: 25 years at 100%

The sentences for r**e of a child and especially aggravated kidnapping will run consecutively, while the 12-year sentence for especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor will run concurrently, resulting in an effective 65-year sentence to be served at 100%.

During Ice’s trial, the victim—who was 4 years old when the crimes occurred and 12 at the time of trial—testified about the assault and its lasting impact. Her mother and brother also testified, and family members were present throughout the proceedings.

Investigators testified that Ice recruited Antoine Wilson to abduct the child from her front yard. Wilson sexually assaulted the child while Ice filmed the attack. The child was later left near her home. Wilson previously pleaded guilty to all charges and testified against Ice at trial.

Chief Prosecutors Devon Dennis and Lessie Rainey of the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case.

Ice has multiple additional cases involving similar allegations that remain pending. Those allegations are separate from this conviction.




Daireus Ice was sentenced Wednesday to 65 years in prison at 100% for the 2018 kidnapping and r**e of a 4-year-old girl.

DA Mulroy Issues Statement Following Andrew Hayes Hearing:

“We disagree with the Court’s position. It is entirely appropriate for the prosecution to agree with the defense when the prosecution is convinced that the facts and the law justify that position. In fact, it would be unethical for a prosecutor to do otherwise. The case law is also clear that, at the trial-court level, the appropriate office is the District Attorney’s Office—not the Attorney General’s Office.

We remain convinced by the evidence that Mr. Hayes was wrongfully convicted. We hope to have the opportunity to fully brief and argue the jurisdictional issues before the Court so that justice may be done for a man who has spent nearly 20 years imprisoned for a crime he did not commit.”
