A Memphis man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter over two years after he reportedly shot and killed a man who was taking out the trash after dinner.
Court records show 24-year-old Metavious Bishop was first charged with second-degree murder for the July 2021 slaying, but he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter on October 26, 2023.
He was sentenced to 10 years in state prison on Monday.
According to the arrest affidavit, on the night of July 8, 2021, officers found 24-year-old Ray Taylor shot to death in the driveway of a home on Yellowood Cove in Northeast Memphis.
The affidavit says Taylor was taking the trash out after dinner when he was shot.
Police say Bishop’s girlfriend was inside the house at the time of the shooting. She told officers that Bishop called her earlier that night and told her to meet him outside with the car keys.
After the gunshots rang out, the girlfriend went outside to find Taylor on the ground and Bishop’s phone and cigars on top of her car.
Bishop also reportedly sent a Snapchat to her after the shooting, alleging Taylor had threatened him “a while back.”

We need Good Guys who are willing to take out the trash.
But the government will stomp on you real hard if you try.
Ray Taylor is dead? I didn’t even know he was sick!
What a cesspool Memphis is! Oy!
Metavious Bishop.........................
Is Ray Taylor black or white?
Some HOA rules are tough…
“Metavious”? That’s a new one.
Lived outside of Memphis about twenty three years ago, but had to go into the city for major shopping. The race anger was bad then. The worst was when the COGIC convention came to town. Hate written all over the attendees faces…
Brother of Cialis.
I left Memphis 52 years ago and never looked back. Grew up and went to college there and it was never like this.
I don't know.

Black on Black.
That’s definitely a Metavious.
Sideshow Jamal
Yep. Another I didn’t do nuffin crowd.
Ten years for killing another human being. That makes a safer Memphis how?
When he gets out, probably early on parole, this dullard will do what to make a living? If the retards that allow him out in ten years could form an unassailable explanation of how this guy doesn’t kill again, I’d love to hear it.
I’ve thought TN as one option for retirement, maybe I shouldn’t.
