Nicholas Sutton, 23, was shot at a service station in the 3200 block of Ridgeway Road in Memphis on January 29, 2017. Police found him with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead. The shooting occurred during an attempted robbery that escalated into the fatal attack.

Investigators identified three teenage suspects connected to the robbery and killing: Lavon Williams, 17 at the time, and two 16-year-olds, Lareco Wilson and Teriaco Gilkey. In May 2019 Lavon Williams, then 19, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and robbery and received a 30-year prison sentence. Wilson and Gilkey, who were 18 by 2019, still faced pending charges and had a scheduled court appearance in June.

Are there details about the Ridgeway Road scene or Sutton’s movements that could help clarify what happened that evening?
