In the spring of 2016, Willie Pressley, 51, was fatally shot in the 1400 block of Woodard Avenue in South Memphis on the evening of April 26. The Memphis Police Department’s investigation identified a teenage suspect and led to an arrest less than a month later.

Eighteen-year-old Michael Tillman was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Pressley’s killing. The case later resolved when Tillman pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received a six-year prison sentence; his sentence concluded in May 2020 after credit for time served.

Anyone who knew Willie Pressley, who was in that area that evening, or who has additional information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
