Ramyra Jamison, a 19-year-old Black woman, was killed by gunfire in Memphis on Thursday, August 4, 2022. Police found her inside a Honda on the 2100 block of Whitney Avenue after witnesses said the vehicle fled the 3400 block of Trezevant, where gunfire had erupted just moments earlier.

Police say the confrontation began with an argument in which 18-year-old Dequan Huff allegedly threatened a woman with a gun. That woman’s brother confronted Huff, who then reportedly opened fire. Huff got into a girlfriend’s Honda with Jamison inside, and as the two men exchanged gunfire Jamison was struck and killed.

Huff was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder; police reports say he admitted involvement in the shootout that night. Does anyone have information about the sequence of events that afternoon or who else witnessed the shooting?
