On January 1, 2022, 20-year-old Alexis Nicole Cobb was fatally shot inside a vehicle on the 8100 block of Walnut Grove Road in Memphis, Tennessee. The crash of that vehicle was first reported to police, who found Cobb with a gunshot wound to the side of her face; she was taken to a hospital by a private vehicle and was pronounced dead on arrival.

The driver, 23-year-old Bryndon Smith, initially told officers the pistol he was handling had accidentally discharged and that he had been driving Cobb to the hospital when the crash occurred. Detectives later say Smith admitted the two had been arguing when he shot her. Cobb’s mother told investigators Smith had been violent with her daughter before. Smith was charged with first-degree murder and later indicted by a grand jury.

What details about the argument, the sequence inside the car, and any witnesses remain unclear. If anyone knew Alexis, her movements that day, or saw the vehicle on Walnut Grove Road, please come forward with information.
