Rodriques Dewayne Lil Rocky Minor was 15 when he was killed on March 5, 2022, in downtown Memphis. He had gone downtown with friends to ride scooters and was waiting near Riverside Drive for a ride when gunfire erupted. Rodriques was struck by a stray bullet, taken to a nearby hospital, and died of his injuries. A 16-year-old girl was also wounded in the same shooting and survived.

Rodriques was a freshman, a dedicated football player since age six, a member of his high school track team, and reportedly a strong student who hoped to launch his own clothing line. Family, friends, and coaches described him as respectful and well-mannered; authorities said he was an innocent bystander and not involved in gangs or criminal activity. A community vigil was held and a GoFundMe was set up to help with funeral costs.

No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly released and the investigation remains ongoing. If anyone was downtown near Riverside Drive that evening or has information about the shooting, can you share what you know?
