On the evening of April 14, 2021, gunfire erupted at a Valero on Knight Arnold Road in Memphis. Two people were struck: 15-year-old Babacai Diatta, who was taken to a nearby hospital and later died, and 31-year-old Donterrius Johnson, known as Mendenhall 2x, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the shootings grew out of a dispute over a vehicle reported stolen earlier that day. Authorities reported that the stolen vehicle was allegedly driven by Diatta to the gas station, where four people arrived and opened fire. Friends of Johnson said he had no connection to the stolen car and was simply leaving the convenience store when he was hit.

In the days after the shooting, law enforcement arrested several people in connection with the double homicide. Twenty-year-old Noah Jones was charged with first-degree murder and reckless endangerment, and three other men — Deandre Wilbourne, Deonn Wilbourne, and Christopher Burkes — surrendered to U.S. Marshals for alleged roles in the incident.

Did anyone witness the shooting or have information about the stolen vehicle and who was involved?
