On the evening of July 18, 2016, a basketball game at the Raleigh Community Center in Memphis was broken up by gunfire. Twenty-one-year-old Justin Tyler Davis, a Black/African American man, was struck in the abdomen by a stray bullet while on the court. He was taken to Methodist North Hospital but did not survive the single gunshot wound.

Police investigation pointed to a 19-year-old, Deeddrick Walton, and four days after the shooting officers arrested him at a Motel 6 on Sycamore View after a report of a man brandishing a weapon. A Glock recovered from Walton was later linked to the fatal shooting and had been reported stolen earlier that year. Walton was charged with first-degree murder, employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun.

An 18-year-old, Lorenzo Jones, was later implicated and arrested on first-degree murder and employing a firearm during a dangerous felony as well. What information might help clarify who was responsible for the shot that killed Justin Davis?
