Dercedes Dockins, 31, was shot and killed on November 17, 2021, outside Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies on Airways Boulevard in Memphis. Investigators describe the shooting as a targeted attack. Surveillance footage captured two people fleeing the scene in a white Mercedes sedan; that vehicle was later tied to a separate shooting in Covington, Tennessee.

The Memphis Police Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation led the inquiry and identified two primary suspects, Cornelius Smith and Justin Johnson. Both were arrested and charged with murder and related offenses. At trial, Cornelius Smith testified that he and Johnson were involved in the shooting and said they had been hired to carry out the attack.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about activity around Makeda’s on November 17, 2021 who can help clarify what happened?
