Overview

• Anthony Green, 24, was convicted of first-degree murder for a 2020 Whitehaven shooting and was supposed to remain in custody after his bond was revoked.
• He was released the same day after posting a $2,500 bond on a separate misdemeanor because the revocation was not enforced at the jail.
• Following an internal review, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office said a deputy failed to follow established procedures, apologized to the court clerk, and announced training and oversight fixes.
• A warrant was issued charging Green with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and employment of a firearm, and deputies are actively searching for him.
• The victim's family called the error devastating and urged tips to 901-545-COPS or CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH, with Green's sentencing set for November.
