Michael Wayne Osborn, 48, was working at JARS Delivery Services and Transportation in southeast Memphis when a gunman opened fire inside the business on July 27, 2016. Osborn was fatally wounded; a coworker, Michael Hansbro, was injured and a third person was shot at but escaped unharmed. The motive for the workplace shooting was described as unclear at the time.

Authorities identified 30-year-old Charles Hammond as the shooter. Hammond’s mother, Jowanna Hammond, who owned a neighboring business, told investigators her son had used a gun taken from an office drawer, and she and another witness positively identified him. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder and held without bond at the Shelby County Jail.

Osborn was remembered by loved ones as quiet, gentle, selfless, a husband to his high school sweetheart Cindy, and a caring father to his grown children. If anyone has information about that afternoon at the Farrisview Boulevard business park, please share what you know.
