It’s a grim reminder that, like the Moon’s phases, life’s darkest moments often precede the dawn. Dive deeper into the tangled story and the legacy left behind by Houston Jr., whose life and death ripple through the Memphis music scene and beyond. LEARN MORE.
A woman named Talia Jones was taken into custody Tuesday (July 15) in Minneapolis by U.S. Marshals after being charged in connection with the January shooting death of Patrick Houston Jr., the son of Memphis rap veteran and brother of Juicy J, Project Pat.
Jones, who had been wanted for facilitation of first-degree murder, allegedly resisted arrest when authorities located her. “She did not go quietly,” the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement. Officials said she physically fought back and tried to avoid being detained.
The Memphis Police Department issued a warrant for Jones’ arrest on June 27, nearly six months after Houston Jr. was gunned down in broad daylight at the intersection of Ketchum Road and Long Street near Charjean Park in the Imogene Heights neighborhood. Officers arrived at the scene around 1:15 p.m. on January 10 and found Houston Jr. dead from a gunshot wound, according to a post on Twitter (X) from the department.
No further details about the motive or circumstances surrounding the shooting have been released.
Houston Jr.’s obituary confirmed he was 22 years old. A memorial service was held January 25 at M.J. Edwards Funeral Home in Memphis, with burial following at Memphis Memory Gardens.
Project Pat, born Patrick Earl Houston, is known for his work with Three 6 Mafia and his solo career, which took off after his 1999 debut album, Ghetty Green. He gained national attention with the 2000 hit “Sippin’ On Some Syrup” and has since collaborated with artists like Drake, Rick Ross and Denzel Curry.
Following his son’s death, Project Pat posted on Instagram, “Boy i thank God for another day. @breakinbaggs @gofoundation9 #letsgo.” DJ Paul, a founding member of Three 6 Mafia, responded with a string of prayer emojis.
Project Pat now focuses much of his time on prison ministry and runs the Go Foundation, a nonprofit aimed at outreach and rehabilitation for incarcerated individuals.
Jones remains in custody following her arrest in Minnesota.
