Derrick Johnson, 27, was fatally shot inside the lobby of Discount Muffler & Brakes in the 2500 block of Lamar Avenue in Memphis on January 9, 2021, at about 1:00 p.m. According to reports, a single assailant dressed entirely in red entered the business, opened fire and shot Johnson multiple times. The shooter then ran south on Callis Street. Johnson was transported but died of his injuries at the scene.

The Memphis Police Department investigated the homicide and released surveillance images of a person matching the red-clad description in September 2021. No arrests were made and no motive has been disclosed. Authorities continue to ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone in the Memphis area see activity near Lamar Avenue or Callis Street that afternoon or recognize the person shown in the released images?
