A Christmas night outing ended in tragedy for 16-year-old Nia Simone Ratcliff. Nia, an Overton High School junior who played track and soccer and managed the basketball team, was at Club Level III on Adams Avenue in downtown Memphis on the night of December 25, 2022. Gunfire erupted outside the venue after people angry about a vehicle break-in opened fire toward the club. Nia was standing near the DJ booth by a window when she was struck in the head and chest. She was taken to a hospital and died from her injuries on December 27, 2022. Her organ donations later saved five other lives.

Surveillance footage shows suspects firing from a dark-colored sedan and a white minivan before fleeing; someone on scene is seen attempting to fire back. Investigators recovered about 36 shell casings, but no arrests have been announced and the homicide remains unsolved. If anyone was at Club Level III that night or has information about the vehicles or suspects, please come forward.
