Seventeen-year-old Corteria Wright, known to family as BayBay, was fatally shot in Memphis, Tennessee on September 7, 2022. Her family remembered her as intelligent, happy and always laughing; she had celebrated her 17th birthday on August 25 and had recently shared future plans with them over dinner.

Initial reports mistakenly tied her death to a widely publicized city-wide shooting spree by a man named Ezekiel Kelly, but the Memphis Police Department later clarified that Corteria’s killing was a separate, unrelated incident that same day. Her father, Corterian Wright, made public appeals condemning gun violence and mourning his daughter’s loss.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified in Corteria Wright’s murder. Did anyone in the community know Corteria or see anything that could help investigators?
