Cartiere’ Decarlo Johnson, 24, was shot and killed outside a neighborhood store in Memphis’ Frayser area on March 5, 2020. Johnson and Anterious Miles were reportedly standing outside a business in the 2800 block of St. Elmo Avenue when the encounter turned violent. Prosecutors say Miles grabbed a pistol from Johnson’s waistband and then shot him several times. Johnson was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Authorities identified Miles as the suspect, arrested him in Forrest City, Arkansas, on March 20, 2020, and extradited him to Tennessee. A Shelby County grand jury later indicted Miles on first-degree murder, robbery, and felony murder counts tied to the allegation he took the firearm from Johnson before the shooting. A jury found Miles guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and robbery on April 25, 2025; sentencing was scheduled for May 30, 2025.
