Carolyn Thomas, 48, was shot during an altercation at Brenda’s Rhythm & Blues Club on Walker Avenue in Memphis on the night of July 3, 2018, and died of her injuries the following day, July 4, 2018. According to accounts, a dispute with another patron, Ricky Hunter, turned physical; Hunter struck Thomas, she threw a beer bottle that missed, and Hunter then produced a handgun and shot her in the shoulder. Witnesses said he stood over her and attempted to fire again but the weapon failed, and he reportedly walked away laughing after the shooting.

Thomas was taken to a hospital, where she later died. The case resulted in the arrest of Ricky Hunter and criminal charges related to her death.

Does anyone have information about Thomas, who she was, or what led to that night at Brenda’s?
