DOJ Press


Jackson, TN
– United States Marshal Tyreece Miller announces
the arrest of Randall Lee Rose, 58, for First Degree Murder by the U.S.
Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force and the Jackson Police
Department.

On Sept. 27, 2021, Randall Lee Rose allegedly
killed Mary Kelly at 2051 Hollywood Drive and fled on foot before law
enforcement arrived on scene. A convicted sex offender, Rose cut off an
ankle monitor that night, and it was discovered on railroad tracks near
the scene.

JPD issued a warrant for Rose for First Degree
Murder. This case was adopted by the U.S. Marshals Task Force. In the
weeks following the murder, Marshals cleared numerous buildings on and
near the Hollywood Drive area.

On Oct. 20, 2021, Task Force Investigators
received information that Rose was hiding out at one of the many
buildings located on the former Bruce Hardwood Flooring Company on
Williams Street. At approximately 8:45 a.m. today, U.S. Marshals and
members of the JPD Special Operations and Criminal Investigation
Divisions, along with air support from JPD’s helicopter, surrounded a
small office building located in the middle of the property and
apprehended Rose without incident. Rose was in possession of a handgun
believed to be taken during a recent burglary.


“Teamwork between the U.S. Marshals Service and
the Jackson Police Department was really key in leading to the capture
of Randall Rose,” said U.S. Marshal Tyreece Miller. “Hopefully, the
community can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that he is in custody.”

The U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive
Task Force (TRVFTF) is a multi-agency task force within Western
Tennessee. The Western Tennessee Division of the TRVFTF has offices in
Memphis and Jackson, and its membership is primarily composed of Deputy
U.S. Marshals, Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputies, Memphis Police
Officers, Fayette County Sheriff’s Deputies, Jackson Police Officers,
and the Tennessee Department of Corrections Special Agents. The primary
mission of the Task Force is to arrest violent offenders and sexual
predators.
