John Franklin Hizer, 49, was fatally shot at his late mother’s home in the Frayser neighborhood of Memphis on August 19, 2018. Reports at the time described the shooting as a case of mistaken identity; Hizer was not the intended target and was working on his family’s home when he was struck.

In the days after the shooting no arrests were publicly announced, and information about suspects or persons of interest was not released. The investigation continued but the case later went cold, with no reported arrests, charges, or convictions connected to his death.

If anyone who knew John Hizer or who was in Frayser on August 19, 2018, has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
