Teonka Gunn, 27, was shot dead outside her apartment at the Saint Court Apartments on North Watkins in Memphis on March 1, 2022. The cousin and his minor son in the car escaped unharmed, but Cohens then pursued Gunn and witnesses said he shot her multiple times at close range. Officers found her outside the apartment with several gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency responders arrived around 4 p.m.

Cohens left Tennessee after the shooting and was located by U.S. Marshals in Chula Vista, California, on June 10, 2022, as part of Operation North Star. He was extradited back to Shelby County to face charges. The case went to trial in October 2024, where a jury heard testimony over four days from fourteen prosecution witnesses and returned guilty verdicts for first-degree murder, attempted murder, reckless endangerment, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. Cohens was sentenced to life plus an additional 27 years, totaling 78 years in prison.

Who knew Teonka Gunn or has information about her life or the events that led to that afternoon in March 2022?
