KaVion Hopkins was 17 when he was shot and killed after an attempted robbery inside a car in Memphis. On July 22, 2017, Hopkins was a passenger near Hoskins Drive and Semmes Avenue when two other occupants, 19-year-old Marshawn Brakefield and 17-year-old Kevin Young, reportedly tried to take Hopkins’ pistol. A struggle followed and Hopkins was shot multiple times. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead on July 23, 2017.

Investigators identified Brakefield and Young as the primary suspects. A grand jury indicted both on first-degree premeditated murder and first-degree murder in the perpetration of a robbery; both were taken into custody and held at the Shelby County Jail pending further proceedings.

Did anyone in the Memphis area know KaVion or have information about that night near Hoskins Drive and Semmes Avenue?
