On the evening of December 18, 2021, a dispute at a Wendy’s in Memphis escalated into a fatal shooting. Terrance Jermaine Edwards, 34, a Black male who worked at the restaurant and was described by acquaintances as a Best Burger Guy and a clothing producer, went outside during the argument. A customer, identified as Joshua Moore, also went outside and fired a handgun, striking Edwards multiple times. Edwards was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead.

The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office charged Joshua Moore with first-degree murder. Family, friends, and community members held a funeral service for Edwards on January 8, 2022.
