MEMPHIS, Tenn. — U.S. Marshals arrested a woman in Minnesota on Tuesday in connection to the murder of the son of Memphis rapper Project Pat.

Talia Jones, 19, was arrested in Minneapolis and charged with facilitation of first-degree murder in connection to the death of Patrick Houston Jr.

Houston Jr. was shot to death Jan. 10 near the intersection of Ketchum Road and Long Street in Memphis. Marshals said he was the son of Patrick Houston Sr., known as Project Pat.

A Memphis Police Department investigation linked Jones to the killing, and a warrant for her arrest was issued June 27.

Jones allegedly resisted arrest but was captured and is awaiting extradition back to Tennessee.

WREG contacted Project Pat about the arrest; however, he says he does not want to comment at this time.

Shelby County court records show that on October 24, 2024, Jones was arrested in Memphis for theft of property for allegedly shoplifting, and a week later, she was charged with aggravated assault during a domestic disturbance at her Ketchum Road apartment.

According to police, Jones and her girlfriend got into a fight that turned physical. Jones claimed her girlfriend grabbed a hammer, and she grabbed a knife to defend herself.

During the fight, Jones said she cut her hand on the knife. Both women were taken into custody but the charge against Jones was dismissed due to lake of prosecution.

A bench warrant was issued for Jones on June 2 after she failed to appear in court in the shoplifting case.
