You will find 29 pictures of people accused of murder and attempted murder, and 21 pictures of people accused of rape and attempted rape.

“The families of these victims deserve justice just as the victims deserve justice, just as much as the community of Memphis deserves for them not to be on the streets,” Det. Keaton said.
