On the evening of January 20, 2020, 16-year-old Lequan Boyd was killed when multiple rounds were fired into a Hickory Hill residence in Memphis in what authorities described as a drive-by shooting. Lequan was at the home with his 6-year-old niece, Ashlynn Luckett; both were struck and later died at a children’s hospital. Lequan was a student at Collierville High School and remembered by those who knew him as caring and protective.

The Memphis Police Department opened an intensive investigation with assistance from the Department of Justice’s Operation Legend and the FBI has offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the perpetrator or perpetrators. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open.

If anyone knew Lequan, Ashlynn, or saw activity in the Hickory Hill area that night, please come forward with information that could help the investigation.
