Late on Tuesday, March 22, 2016, 29-year-old Christopher Thompson Jr. was killed during a street shooting in the 900 block of Avalon Street near Vollintine Avenue in North Memphis. Thompson and another man, identified as Darick Lane, were firing at a vehicle occupied by two men when an apparent accident occurred. Police reported that while Lane was shooting at the car, a bullet from his weapon struck Thompson in the back of the head, killing him.

Law enforcement arrested Darick Lane and charged him in connection with Thompson’s death. The charges included second-degree murder for the fatal shooting and attempted murder for firing at the occupants of the car; a judge set bond at $3 million. Few details are available about Thompson’s life beyond his age and where the shooting occurred.
