A fight between friends in southwest Memphis turned fatal in late April 2020. On the evening of April 26, 44-year-old Antonio Hines was involved in a scuffle with 47-year-old LaJuan Britton, also known as LaJuan Craft, in the 500 block of Gilleas Road. Britton briefly left the scene and returned about 15 minutes later, and the men resumed fighting. During the second confrontation Britton allegedly produced a gun and shot Hines in the stomach and hip.

Hines was taken to a hospital and, before surgery, identified LaJuan Britton as his shooter. He died of complications from his wounds on April 30, 2020. A grand jury later indicted Britton in March 2021 on first-degree murder and felon-in-possession charges; he was held at the Shelby County Jail and the case was assigned to the District Attorney’s Special Prosecution Unit.

Did anyone in the Gilleas Road area see or hear anything that night that could shed light on what happened?
