On the night of December 29, 2016, 39-year-old Derrian Poplar was found lying in the street at the intersection of Vance and Lauderdale in Memphis with multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene; he was recorded as the city’s 225th homicide victim that year.

Police described the incident as a robbery that escalated to murder. Investigators say a black vehicle pulled up, an individual got out, approached Poplar, took his wallet and then shot him. Within a short time, authorities arrested and charged 28-year-old Tizerius Farmer with first-degree murder in connection with the killing.

What information do readers in Memphis have about this intersection or about Poplar’s movements that night?
