Remarrio Prince Akins, 41, a disabled man who used a wheelchair, was abducted at gunpoint outside a grocery store on Horn Lake Road in Memphis on the afternoon of August 12, 2021. Surveillance footage shows two men assaulting him, punching and slapping him, then forcing him out of his wheelchair and into a green Saturn SUV. Two days later, on August 14, 2021, his body was found in a field on West Shelby Drive; an autopsy showed he had been shot multiple times.

Investigators arrested 24-year-old Jerome Nichols about a month after the killing. A Shelby County grand jury later indicted Nichols on multiple felonies, including premeditated first-degree murder, murder in the perpetration of a kidnapping, especially aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon, and especially aggravated robbery; he was held without bond. The second man seen in the surveillance footage has not been publicly identified and remains at large.

Anyone who recognizes the second man in the surveillance images or has information about the abduction and killing of Remarrio Prince Akins is asked to come forward.
