Keisha Ann Marshall, 33, and her husband Leander Maxwell, 38, were shot in their Macon Road home in the Berclair neighborhood of Memphis on September 19, 2021. The couple had reportedly told their roommate, Michael Barkley, that he needed to move out by the end of the month. The shooting occurred in the early morning; the couple’s child woke to gunfire and saw the armed suspect standing over Marshall’s body.

Both victims left the house after being shot. Marshall collapsed on the sidewalk and Maxwell reached a nearby gas station for help. Both were taken to a local hospital and later died of their injuries. Barkley, 34, was arrested the same morning at a relative’s home with a gun in his possession and is reported to have confessed during questioning. A Shelby County grand jury indicted him on two counts of first-degree murder in February 2022.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that morning, or have information about the conflict between the couple and their roommate?
