Deterrio LaShun Brown, 19, was shot and killed on the morning of October 8, 2021, outside the Jackson Heights Inn & Suites on Old Austin Peay Highway in the Raleigh area of Memphis. Police found him suffering from a gunshot wound in the motel parking lot; he was pronounced dead at the scene amid what officials described as chaotic moments after the shooting. Early accounts described a heavyset person seen running north toward a nearby gas station as officers arrived.

Prosecutors say the confrontation began as an argument outside the motel. Ezekiel McClain was later identified by officials as the person who, they allege, pulled a handgun and shot Brown; McClain told investigators he fired after being struck in the eye. A grand jury indicted McClain on first-degree murder charges on July 14, 2022. Brown was born February 12, 2002, raised in Memphis, connected to church from an early age, and is survived by a daughter.
