Keniya Cornelious Johnson, 23, was shot and killed in Memphis on July 29, 2019, during a meeting that began as a prearranged gun transaction. Johnson and a 26-year-old companion were in a car in the 2700 block of North Trezevant Street in Frayser when the buyer became confrontational after Johnson refused to sell the firearm. The man opened fire, striking both occupants multiple times.

The wounded companion was able to drive to a nearby fire station on Whitney Avenue to get help, but Johnson did not survive his injuries. The shooting prompted a prompt arrest; Jayten Galloway, 21 at the time of the killing, was taken into custody shortly after the incident. In April 2021 a grand jury returned an indictment charging Galloway with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and employment of a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony, and he was held in the Shelby County Jail as proceedings began.

Does anyone have information about the meeting on North Trezevant Street or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
