On the evening of July 30, 2016, 26-year-old Terralonce Stanford found his 1997 Infiniti at the Hickory Hills Apartments in Memphis after it had been stolen about two weeks earlier. He used his pickup truck to block the stolen car and called 911 to wait for police. While he was on the phone with emergency services, two men identified as Lacurtis Odom and Montrell Clark came out of an apartment and confronted him. Odom produced a handgun, Stanford can be heard pleading for his life on the 911 recording, and he was shot in the head and died at the scene.

After the shooting the two men fled in the stolen Infiniti; that vehicle was later found burned on Horn Lake Road near the Mississippi state line. Witnesses positively identified both Odom and Clark as the men who confronted and shot Stanford. Warrants were issued for their arrests. Lacurtis Odom was later convicted of first-degree murder, attempted especially aggravated robbery, theft of property, and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, and was sentenced to life in prison. At the time of Odom’s sentencing, charges against Montrell Clark remained pending.

Does anyone have information about Stanford’s movements that night or witnessed the confrontation at Hickory Hills Apartments?
