Gelante M. Kneeland, a 23-year-old Black/African American man, was killed by gunfire in Memphis, Tennessee, on February 26, 2020. His death was recorded the same day as several other firearm-related fatalities across the country.

In December 2024 the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office arrested eight men in a separate series of offenses that included theft and homicide; those arrested were named as Roderick Danner, Desmond Emery, Eric McNeal, Zavion Owens, Gabriel Smith, Jonathan Rush, Curtiss Johnson, and Donte Eddings. Donte Eddings was charged with first-degree murder, but there is no information tying any of these arrests directly to Kneeland’s killing. Details about arrests, suspects, or progress specifically in Kneeland’s case remain scarce.
