Omyus Ashun Brown was 17 when he was shot and killed in Memphis on the evening of April 5, 2021. He was found on the back seat floorboard of a stolen truck in the Frayser neighborhood near Delano Avenue and Steele Street and was pronounced dead at the scene. Brown was a junior at Booker T. Washington High School.

As the truck fled, multiple rounds struck the vehicle; a bullet shattered a rear window and struck Brown in the head. The 15-year-old driver later told investigators he did not realize Brown had been shot until about 25 minutes later.

Authorities identified Cameran Leatherwood as the suspect, obtained a warrant, and he was taken into custody by federal and local fugitive teams. He initially faced first-degree murder charges; a grand jury later indicted him for voluntary manslaughter and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, with court records noting a 2015 conviction that barred him from legally owning a firearm and he was held in Shelby County Jail.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, the events at the Madison Avenue parking lot, or has information about those involved, please come forward.
