Seven-year-old Kelby DVonte Bugg Shorty was killed on July 4, 2021, while setting off fireworks with other children on North Montgomery Street in Memphis. Two women were also wounded.

Within days investigators identified three people in connection with the shooting and they were arrested: Jordan Pittman, Angieline Kennedy, and Adoniss Wright. Prosecutors later accused Pittman and Kennedy of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and reckless endangerment, while Wright was charged as an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. The shooting was said to follow an earlier argument at a nearby gas station.

The killing prompted community vigils and renewed calls to address gun violence. If anyone was in the area that night or has information about the sequence of events on North Montgomery Street, share what was seen or heard with investigators.
