Fredorikus Tysean Perry, 17, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of October 17, 2020, in Bolivar, Tennessee. A student at Bolivar Central High School who played on the basketball and football teams, he was described by his coaches as quiet and well-mannered. Officers found Perry shortly after 3:00 a.m. in a driveway on the 100 block of Morocco Road with apparent gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation assisted the Bolivar Police Department in the probe. Investigators identified and, later that morning with help from the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Department, arrested a 17-year-old male who was also a student at Bolivar Central High School. The suspect was taken to a juvenile detention facility to await a hearing in Hardeman County.

Does anyone from the community remember hearing or seeing anything near Morocco Road that night or knew Fredorikus at school?
