Jesus Cazares, 49, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds on the side of Bolen Huse Road in Memphis on December 5, 2022. Paramedics pronounced him at the scene and investigators launched a homicide probe into his killing.

Surveillance footage showed a reddish-orange vehicle near the scene, a lead investigators traced to 37-year-old Brandon Malone. Footage from another location reportedly showed Malone’s vehicle with damage consistent with a bullet strike. When Malone was found and arrested, officers recovered a rifle and marijuana in his car; a subsequent search of the home he shared with Ashley Wiggins turned up additional firearms and marijuana.

Malone was charged with second-degree murder, as well as being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony, possession of a controlled substance, and theft of property. Wiggins was arrested on theft, drug, and weapons-related charges. The investigation was described as ongoing as authorities continued to piece together what happened.

If anyone witnessed activity on Bolen Huse Road that afternoon or has information about the reddish-orange vehicle, please come forward.
