A domestic dispute in a Northeast Memphis home on October 13, 2022, ended in multiple shootings that killed 43-year-old Alice Williams and a 10-year-old girl, identified as Mandia Shanbanka, and critically injured a 19-year-old woman. The violence began with an argument between 21-year-old Allante McAfee and his girlfriend’s 19-year-old sister; neighbors later said police had been called to the residence on prior occasions for domestic incidents involving one of the young women and her boyfriend.

Police reports say McAfee brandished a handgun during the altercation. Alice Williams stepped in to intervene and de-escalate, and McAfee allegedly fired multiple shots, striking the 19-year-old in the back. McAfee reportedly told officers he had blacked out and didn’t intend to shoot Williams or the child, then flagged down responding officers and confessed, saying he did it. He was taken into custody and charged with two counts of second-degree murder and reckless endangerment.

Does anyone in the Memphis area have information about the household or the prior calls to that address that could shed light on what led to this escalation?
