Clovis Richard Hodge Jr., a 49-year-old electrician from Memphis, Tennessee, was killed on September 1, 2021 after a road‑rage confrontation. Hodge and the other driver exchanged words while his wife Jana was on the phone; the call was interrupted by gunfire and the sound of a crash. Hodge’s van struck a tree and he was found grievously wounded; he died after being taken to a local hospital.

Memphis Police opened a homicide investigation and released images of a dark-colored sedan seen on surveillance footage following Hodge’s van shortly before the shooting and then fleeing the scene. No arrests have been publicly announced and the person or persons responsible remain at large. If anyone has information about the dark sedan or the shooting near Stage Road and Benjestown Road on September 1, 2021, please share what is known.
