Jackson, TN – U.S. Marshal Tyreece Miller announces the arrest
of Tyler McMillion on murder charges related to the homicide of a

On February 28, the Madison County Grand Jury
returned indictments on Tyler McMillion on charges of First Degree
Murder, Aggravated Child Neglect, Reckless Homicide, Leaving Child
Unattended in Motor Vehicle (two counts), and Child Neglect. These
charges and subsequent arrest originated from an August 21, 2021,

two, unattended in a vehicle in Jackson, Tenn., which resulted in the
death of the 4-year-old child. This incident was investigated by the

same day the indictments were returned, Deputy Marshals and Task Force
Officers went to a residence in the 6000 block of Graball Drive in

transported to the Madison County Jail.
