Lisa Peoples, 27, was found dead on April 3, 2017, in the 3500 block of Kings Arms Street in Memphis’ Fox Meadows neighborhood. Her body was discovered face down in the grass near a driveway with multiple gunshot wounds; reports say she had been shot more than half a dozen times.

Earlier that same day Peoples had obtained an order of protection against her husband, Mario Scales, then 30. Around 9 p.m. witnesses saw Scales fleeing with a rifle; officers found him hiding in nearby bushes on Bishops Gate Drive and recovered an AK-47 assault rifle. Scales reportedly told police he had shot his wife because he believed she was involved with another man.

A grand jury indicted Mario Scales on first-degree murder charges in September 2017; he was held without bond at the Shelby County Jail and the case was assigned to Assistant District Attorney Omar Malik. Does anyone have information about Lisa’s life in Fox Meadows or the events of April 3, 2017?
