On November 1, 2016, a planned teenage fight at Zodiac Park in Memphis turned deadly when individuals wearing bandanas opened fire into a crowd of onlookers. Sixteen-year-old Alana Tello, a Hispanic female, was struck and died at the scene; five other teenagers were wounded.

The investigation identified 17-year-old Marcus Malone as a suspect. He was arrested and charged with numerous counts, including second-degree murder, multiple counts of attempted second-degree murder, and firearms offenses. In November 2019, a jury convicted Malone on 26 charges, including the second-degree murder of Alana Tello. In January 2020 he was sentenced to 133 years in prison.

Alana’s death cut short a teenage life and left a family grieving. Does anyone have details about Alana’s life, or information about that day at Zodiac Park that could add context to the case?
