Dekario Linwood was 17 when he was shot in North Memphis on the evening of November 8, 2017. He was a passenger in a vehicle near Saffarans Avenue and Pearce Street when gunfire broke out; witnesses say shots were exchanged and Dekario was leaning out of the passenger-side window when a bullet struck the back of his head. He was taken to Regional One Health in critical condition and died of his injuries on November 10, 2017.

The Memphis Police Department investigated the killing. In November 2018 a grand jury indicted Felix Dewberry, then 20, on a charge of reckless homicide; prosecutors alleged Dewberry fired the fatal shot while aiming at someone who was shooting at their vehicle. Dewberry was released on a $100,000 bond to await further proceedings. The case file does not include the later outcome of the charge.

Did anyone in North Memphis see the car or the shooting that night, or have information about what happened at Saffarans and Pearce?
