In the early hours of March 28, 2020, 26-year-old Kenton Willett was shot and killed in the Orange Mound neighborhood of Memphis, Tennessee. Willett was inside a vehicle with a 23-year-old woman and her two young children, ages one and three, when an assailant approached the passenger side and opened fire. The woman was critically injured; the two children were not physically harmed.

The gunman fled the scene and the Memphis Police Department opened an investigation. Authorities later identified 28-year-old Romarus Turner as the primary suspect. In November 2020 a grand jury indicted Turner on first-degree murder for Willett’s death, plus attempted first-degree murder for the wounded woman, two counts of aggravated assault, employment of a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony, reckless endangerment, and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

Does anyone in Orange Mound have information about the March 28, 2020 shooting or the events leading up to it?
