MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man wanted for a deadly shooting in Frayser was reportedly captured in Detroit Friday.

Varnadoe was reportedly shot to death on November 9, in the area of Winston Drive just north of Watkins. The marshals say a warrant was issued for Bailey’s arrest the same day.
According to the marshals, agents learned that Bailey had fled to the Detroit area. Agents with the U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force coordinated with the marshals office in Detroit to take Bailey into custody.
