In the early hours of December 6, 2021, 30-year-old Kenya Baskin was fatally shot at her Douglass Street home in Memphis after an earlier episode of domestic violence.

About five hours later, shots were reported near the home and police returned at approximately 8:15 a.m. They found Baskin deceased in the driver’s seat of her car and her friend, 30-year-old Jeramy Edwards, on the ground nearby; both had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Lurry was identified as the suspect and taken into custody; a grand jury later indicted him on two counts of first-degree murder and additional charges including aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, domestic assault and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun. He was held without bond and the case was assigned to the Shelby County District Attorney’s Special Prosecution Unit.

If anyone witnessed the events outside the Douglass Street residence that morning or has information about the earlier forced entry, please come forward.
