Antaeus Colbert, a 26-year-old Black man, was killed on June 2, 2018, in Memphis, Tennessee. Reports place the killing near Airways Boulevard and Lamar Avenue, described as occurring by an AutoZone parking lot on a busy commercial corridor—an ordinary public setting that witnesses and family later recalled as the place life abruptly stopped for Colbert.

Authorities took 17-year-old Oshay Sims into custody the same day and, according to later accounts, Sims confessed after nearly seven hours in an interrogation room that was not audio or video recorded. Those accounts say the confession was later shown to be false and that defense attorney Kamilah Turner established Sims’ innocence after he had spent more than a year jailed. Sims died in a car crash about two months after his release.

The case remains framed by grief and uncertainty: Colbert is dead, an early confession was later undone, and reporting does not describe a final conviction tied to the killing. If anyone has information about Colbert, the location near Airways Boulevard and Lamar Avenue, or the events of June 2, 2018, please share what is known.
