Djbril Sy, 23, was a Black man living in Memphis, Tennessee. What began as an arranged meeting to buy a phone in the 3700 block of Outland Road on August 3, 2018, turned deadly when he was confronted by two men and a young woman. Gunfire erupted; Sy was struck multiple times—reports specify at least two shots—and was later recorded as dying around August 4, 2018.

Despite his wounds, Sy was able to speak with police and gave a description of his attackers. Investigators used that description and an eyewitness account to identify suspects quickly. Erik Robinson and Marquavious Smith were named as the two male suspects, and the young woman was also taken into custody; reporting said all three turned themselves in and admitted roles in what authorities described as an attempted robbery that ended in murder.

The case centers on a meeting set up for a phone sale that became a deadly trap. Does anyone have information about that Outland Road meetup or about Djbril Sy’s final hours?
