A workplace dispute in Memphis turned deadly on the evening of November 13, 2020, when 44-year-old Antonian Smith was found inside his white SUV on Kirby Parkway at Valley Park Drive with a gunshot wound to the head. The vehicle showed multiple bullet holes on the right side, and investigators concluded the wound was not caused by the collision that initially drew police to the scene.

Surveillance and Real Time Crime Center footage show a lime green Dodge Charger driving closely alongside Smith’s SUV while muzzle flashes are visible coming from the Charger’s driver side. A witness also reported receiving a frantic phone call from Smith in which he said the coworker who drives a lime green Dodge Charger had just shot up his truck. Investigators focused on 27-year-old coworker Courtney Malone, who was seen leaving work early and following Smith; Malone was arrested three days later and charged with murder. A grand jury later returned a first-degree murder indictment and he was held on $250,000 bond.

Anyone who witnessed the traffic on Kirby Parkway that night or who knew about tensions between Smith and Malone is asked to share information with the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office.
