Thomas Bonner, 43, was shot and killed while waiting at a bus stop on Union Avenue in Memphis on the evening of October 8, 2022. A verbal dispute with a stranger escalated when a man exited a silver Honda and fired multiple times, striking Bonner; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses led investigators to two people connected to the incident. Authorities arrested 35-year-old Bobby Chism, identified as the shooter and charged with first-degree murder, and 37-year-old Latorya Graham, accused of driving the silver Honda and charged with facilitation of first-degree murder and accessory after the fact. Bonner’s sister has spoken publicly about the family’s grief and fear, and the community has provided emotional and financial support to help with funeral expenses.

The shooting left a family seeking answers and a community shaken by sudden, senseless violence. If anyone has information about what happened that night or saw activity on Union Avenue around the bus stop, please come forward.
