In the heart of Memphis, excitement thrives but so does the urgency for safety. The city’s police department is reaching out to residents for assistance in a troubling homicide case that occurred back in September. On September 18th at around 9:00 PM, officers were dispatched to the Airport Express Gas Station located in the 2000 block of Airways Boulevard following reports of shots fired.
Imagine the scene: a busy gas station suddenly erupted into chaos as a shooting unfolded. Witnesses reported that a male suspect pulled up in a silver or gray SUV—likely a Chevy Tahoe. Officers were told that he wasn’t alone; two women were also present in the vehicle. Reports indicate that the male suspect fired off two shots right from his car before jumping out and chasing the victim toward the front door of the business.
What happened next was nothing short of terrifying. A struggle occurred right at the door, and in the heat of that moment, the victim was shot. Sadly, that violent encounter led to the victim’s death shortly after. After the incident, the suspect and the two women jumped back into the SUV and sped off, heading westbound on Democrat Road.
