Corrisha Teal, 26, was shot and killed on June 14, 2019, while moving into a new apartment on Birch Lake Drive in Memphis. She was unloading a car with two relatives and a friend when a neighbor, Terrell Craft, approached the group. Witnesses say Craft stared at them; after Teal spoke to him and began to walk away, Craft pulled a gun and shot her four times, striking her head, back, and leg. He then pointed the weapon at the three people with her and took a handgun from Teal’s waistband before leaving.

Teal was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Craft later called 911 and told police he had killed Teal, claiming self-defense and that she had disrespected him. A jury convicted Craft of second-degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault; the convictions were affirmed on appeal in January 2024.

If anyone knew Corrisha or was present that afternoon, any additional details could help clarify what happened.
