Takiyah Nelson was 16 and visiting friends in the Parkway Village area of Memphis on November 21, 2022, when a handgun being passed among juveniles discharged and struck her. She was taken to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in critical condition and died the next morning. Takiyah had just celebrated her birthday, attended South Panola High School in Batesville, Mississippi, enjoyed dancing and playing in the school band, and hoped to become an attorney.

The Memphis Police Department investigated the shooting. One juvenile present, a 13-year-old girl, was charged with reckless homicide; a male who was detained was not charged. The family’s statements describe Takiyah as loving and joyful, and the community was left grieving her loss.

Did anyone in the Parkway Village area on November 21, 2022, see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened inside that residence?
