Matthew Taylor, 34, of Horn Lake, Mississippi, was fatally shot in Memphis on January 5, 2019 after arranging to sell a pair of tennis shoes via Facebook Marketplace. The meeting was at the Arbor of Hickory Ridge Apartments near Rideway Road and Knight Arnold Road. Farmer allegedly opened fire before Taylor could react; Taylor was pronounced dead at the scene while still in the driver’s seat. Taylor’s girlfriend was in the car and witnessed the shooting. Three days later officers arrested Montavious Farmer and a grand jury later indicted him on first-degree murder, especially aggravated robbery and reckless endangerment; Taylor’s girlfriend identified Farmer at trial as the shooter.

Are there readers who were in the Hickory Ridge area that afternoon or who remember seeing the car or anyone suspicious around Rideway Road and Knight Arnold Road?
