Late on the night of February 14, 2020, an arranged marijuana transaction in the Kroger parking lot in Antioch, Tennessee, ended in gunfire that killed two young men. Eighteen-year-old Craige Strickland of Memphis was among four people who met 23-year-old DeArious A. Harris for the sale. An argument escalated and both men were struck by gunshots; Strickland suffered a wound to the head and Harris was hit in the chest.

Harris was taken by his girlfriend to a Waffle House and then to a hospital, where he later died. Strickland was driven to General Hospital by his companions and was also pronounced dead there. Investigators recovered two firearms at the scene and, based on interviews with Harris’s girlfriend and the four men with Strickland, concluded preliminarily that both men had shot each other. No other arrests were announced at the time.

Did anyone witness the encounter at the Kroger parking lot or have information about who else was present that night?
