Glenn Walton Cofield, a 57-year-old financial advisor and community leader, was shot and killed on June 7, 2019, in Memphis, Tennessee. He and his wife had just left a St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital charity event and were getting into their car in the parking lot of the Greater Lewis Street Missionary Baptist Church when an unknown male wearing a hoodie approached; authorities believe the encounter was an attempted robbery. A verbal altercation preceded the shooting, and Cofield was fatally shot in front of his wife while the shooter fled in a dark-colored vehicle.

The Memphis Police Department investigated and a reward for information grew to $26,000 through private donations and a CrimeStoppers contribution, but no arrests have been announced and the case has gone cold. The family continues to seek answers about who confronted them that night and why.

If anyone attended the fundraiser or was in that parking lot and saw a male in a hoodie or a dark-colored vehicle leaving the scene, can you share what you remember?
