Arkansas First-Degree Murder Suspect Captured in Memphis by U.S. Marshals

Memphis, TN – On July 17, 2025, the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) captured Arkansas murder suspect Travis Boyd, 30, in Memphis, Tennessee.

On November 8, 2024, Orlando Garza was shot and killed after exiting a casino in West Memphis, AR. An arrest warrant was issued in Crittenden County, Arkansas, charging Travis Boyd with First-Degree Murder.

On December 2, 2024, the case was adopted by the USMS Eastern Arkansas Fugitive Task Force. When the investigation indicated that Boyd was hiding out in the Memphis area, the USMS Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task (TRVFTF) in Memphis was requested to assist.

Today, Investigators with the TRVTF developed information and went to a residence in the 3900 block of Watkins in Memphis to search for Boyd. He was located and taken into custody without incident. He is being held at the Shelby County Jail awaiting extradition back to Arkansas.

The U.S. Marshals Service Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force is a multi-agency task force within Western Tennessee. The TRVFTF has offices in Memphis and Jackson, and its membership is primarily composed of Deputy U.S. Marshals, Shelby, Fayette, Tipton, and Gibson County Sheriff’s Deputies, Memphis and Jackson Police Officers, Tennessee Department of Correction Special Agents and the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Since 2021, the TRVFTF has captured over 3,000 violent offenders and sexual predators.
