An argument on the evening of October 10, 2017, in Memphis, Tennessee, escalated into a street brawl that left 18-year-old Roydaris Collins mortally wounded. A student at Southwest Tennessee Community College and a former Melrose High School basketball player, Collins was part of a group that reportedly attacked Alfonzo Kendricks after a disagreement with Kendricks’ aunt. Kendricks broke free, Collins pursued him, and Kendricks then fired, striking Collins in the neck. Collins was taken to the Regional Medical Center and died several days later.

The confrontation also involved a third, unidentified shooter across the street who fired and struck Kendricks in the left hip; that person’s identity remains unknown and no charges have been announced in connection with those shots. The Memphis Police Department investigated and later obtained an arrest warrant for Kendricks; he was charged with second-degree murder. Kendricks initially denied possessing a weapon that night, though police said they had evidence he fired at Collins at least twice.

Did anyone in Memphis see the confrontation or the person who fired from across the street on October 10, 2017?
