On New Year’s Eve 2019 in Memphis, Tennessee, 35-year-old Dallas Brown was found in his car on Cherrydale Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds to the head and chest. First responders tried to save him but he died from his injuries, leaving his family and friends to mourn a sudden, violent loss.

Memphis Police identified a person of interest, Victor Valencia, after witnesses reported a dark-colored Dodge Magnum speeding away from the scene. Investigators say Valencia had been asking about an AR-15 Brown kept in his vehicle, and that the rifle was missing when officers processed the crime scene. On January 9, 2020, authorities arrested Valencia and recovered Brown’s AR-15 in Valencia’s vehicle.

Police allege the motive was theft of the firearm and believe a second person participated in the robbery and murder; that search was ongoing. Does anyone have information about activity near Cherrydale Avenue on New Year’s Eve 2019 or about a dark Dodge Magnum seen leaving the area?
