Saad Mherirat Abbadi, 40, was shot and killed outside his home at the intersection of Mendenhall and Devonshire in East Memphis on March 27, 2017. A Middle Eastern man, Abbadi was a husband, father and owner of a local tire shop. He was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound. A memorial service was held March 31, 2017.

Police described the incident as an attempted robbery that turned deadly. In April 2017 two suspects were arrested: 18-year-old Delarry Wallace and 20-year-old John Young. An April 25, 2017 indictment alleged the pair planned to rob Abbadi believing a business owner would be carrying cash. Both were charged with first-degree murder and attempted especially aggravated robbery; Young was released on bond while Wallace remained jailed with bond set at $150,000. The two were scheduled to appear in court on July 10, 2017.
