Martavious Desheon Calhoun, 22, was shot and killed at his home in the 3000 block of Bestway Drive in Memphis on Wednesday, September 22, 2021. He came home early and discovered another man, identified as Demarcus Linsey, hiding in his closet; Linsey was involved with Calhoun’s girlfriend, Maxcine Jones. A physical fight broke out and Calhoun’s Springfield Armory 9mm fell from his waistband. Linsey grabbed the gun, briefly aimed it at Jones and told her to gather his things, then the struggle with Calhoun resumed. Linsey fired multiple times, fatally wounding Calhoun, and fled the scene.

Police later arrested Linsey at Tchulahoma Road and Shelby Drive and recovered the handgun in a nearby backyard; it contained eleven spent rounds and one live round. Linsey, who has a prior criminal record, was charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, with bond set at $75,000 as he awaited court.

If anyone knew Martavious, Maxcine Jones, or saw activity around Bestway Drive on September 22, 2021, please share what was seen or heard with investigators.
