Anthony DeWayne Pope was 21 when he was shot dead outside a convenience store on Hawkins Mill Road in Memphis’ Raleigh neighborhood on August 29, 2016. Surveillance video recorded a man approaching Pope with a handgun as he exited the market and shooting him in the chest. Officers at the scene spoke with Pope, and his statement identifying his shooter was treated as a dying declaration that pointed to an acquaintance.

An eyewitness also gave a positive identification. Police arrested 24-year-old Zachary Thompson, who turned himself in and told investigators he had fired in self-defense; the store video contradicted that claim. Friends and family held a candlelight vigil after the killing.

In November 2018 a jury found Thompson, then 26, guilty of first-degree murder; a Criminal Court judge imposed an automatic life sentence. Does anyone who knew Anthony or who was in the Raleigh area that day have additional information to share?
