U.S. Marshals Capture Memphis Murder Suspect in Georgia

Memphis, TN – An investigation by the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) led to the arrest of Demetrio Ceballos, 18, who was wanted for a murder in Memphis, Tennessee.

On March 25, 2024, Rozelle White was shot to death in the 4400 block of Millbranch in Memphis. On September 27, a warrant for first degree murder and aggravated assault was issued for the arrest of Demetrio Ceballos for this crime.

The Memphis Police Department Fugitive Apprehension Team began searching for Ceballos. The investigation led to Ceballos’ location in Atlanta, Georgia. With this development, MPD requested assistance from the USMS Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force (TRVFTF) in Memphis.

The TRVFTF adopted the case and provided investigative leads to the USMS Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force (SERFTF) in Georgia. On November 18, the SERFTF located Ceballos in Atlanta and took him into custody without incident. He awaits extradition back to Shelby County, Tennessee.
