On the morning of October 3, 2021, 22-year-old Andrew ’Drew’ Rainer was killed during a violent home invasion at a residence in Memphis, Tennessee. Rainer, a senior at Rhodes College, was with his girlfriend and other students when four masked, armed intruders forced their way in and ordered everyone to keep their heads down while demanding electronics and valuables.

The situation turned deadly when one assailant demanded Rainer’s iPad passcode. According to reports, Rainer did not comply and was shot in the chest while struggling to protect his girlfriend; she suffered a gunshot wound to her hand. The intruders fled with multiple phones, gaming systems and other electronics. Police later found Rainer deceased at the bottom of a staircase.

Investigators tracked one stolen iPad to a nearby hotel, which led to the arrest of Rainess Holmes, then 36, who faced charges including first-degree murder and aggravated robbery; authorities said Holmes was one of the four men who entered the home. Another person, Raquel Lori Frye, was arrested in connection with the incident, though charges against her were later dropped. The other suspects remained at large.

Did anyone in the area see suspicious activity or people around that neighborhood on October 2–3, 2021?
