Adarrell Anderson Sr., 45, was fatally shot in the early morning of May 27, 2017, in Memphis, Tennessee. Police found him about 2:10 a.m. inside his 1998 Lincoln near Walnut Street and Polk Avenue; the vehicle was riddled with bullets and Anderson had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. A witness who had been with him told officers the shots were fired as they were getting into the car. That witness was not injured.

After the shooting a man was seen fleeing the scene. No arrests were reported in the immediate aftermath, and the incident was recorded as the city’s 87th homicide that year. The killing came four months after Anderson’s son, Adarrell Anderson Jr., was shot and killed in Memphis in January 2017; an arrest in that earlier case led to a conviction. As of May 2024 the murder of Adarrell Anderson Sr. remained unsolved and his parents, Maryln and Carl Daniels, continued to appeal for information.

Can anyone who knew Adarrell or was in the Walnut and Polk area that morning provide information to investigators?
