University of Memphis Student Arrested for Killing Tiger Football Player Taylor Bradford

When yesterday's press conference ended and Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin and Shelby County Attorney General Bill Gibbons had finished announcing the arrests of three individuals those in attendance and those watching on local news stations were grateful and at the same time trying to read in-between the lines of what had been said during the hour long press conference. After University of Memphis football player Taylor Bradford had been shot near his Carpenter Complex student apartment last Sunday, students and university staff were wondering if the murder included any students of the University of Memphis.

With the arrests of three guys in their early-20s, I am sure Dr. Shirley Raines, the president at Memphis, breathed a sigh of relief but was certainly not jubilant knowing that Director Godwin had said that another arrest was pending. Well, it did not take long for that fourth arrest to be made and it rocked the campus to its core as University of Memphis student Devin Jefferson was arrested last night and was called the mastermind of the plot to rob and ultimately kill Taylor Bradford two days before the Tiger football team played Marshall University at Liberty Memorial Stadium less than three miles from where Bradford's body had been attacked by a bullet marked for him.
