David Carpenter was 30 and from Memphis, Tennessee, when he was killed on July 1, 2022. His obituary and memorial listings place his death amid a deadly holiday weekend in the city, which included multiple shootings and a stabbing; police recorded a man found with multiple gunshot wounds on Winchester Road at 5:56 p.m., another shooting on Oakwood Street at 10:15 p.m., and additional violent calls overnight to Craigmont Drive and Lucy Avenue.

Authorities said they had no suspect information for the three fatal shootings at the time and saw nothing to suggest the cases were connected; one person was detained at the Lucy Avenue stabbing scene but investigators treated the incidents as separate. Services for David were handled by Serenity Funeral Home, with visitation on July 15 and a service on July 16, followed by burial at Raleigh-Frayser Memorial Cemetery.

If anyone knew David or has information about his death, please come forward.
