Naterria Renae Douglass was 14 when she was shot and killed on December 17, 2022, in the Hickory Hill neighborhood of Memphis. She was a passenger asleep in the backseat of her brother’s car while he was working as a DoorDash driver to support the family. A 17-year-old male was also killed in the same attack.

Investigators say surveillance footage showed Kameron Newsom wearing a black ski mask and carrying an assault rifle before the vehicle was followed and fired upon. Two suspects, Julius Black and Kameron Newsom, were later located in Ohio after a police chase and charged with first-degree murder and related offenses in connection with the double homicide.

Family members described Naterria as a straight-A student who had been running for vice president at her school. Her mother, Irene Douglass, spoke publicly about profound grief and forgiveness, and the shooting has been highlighted as part of the broader problem of gun violence in Memphis.

If anyone knew Naterria, witnessed the December 17 incident, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
