Seventeen-year-old Antoine Bell, a Black student at Raleigh Egypt High School, was shot and killed in Memphis on the evening of January 7, 2016. He and two friends had stopped to help a woman whose car had broken down with her baby inside at the intersection of Kerwood Avenue and Winwood Drive in the Raleigh neighborhood. While they were assisting, another vehicle pulled up, two people got out and opened fire. Antoine was fatally wounded; his two companions suffered non-critical gunshot wounds.

Antoine was an expectant father; his daughter was born shortly after his death. The investigation led to the arrest and grand jury indictment of 17-year-old Rodricus Adams on one count of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Adams and another suspect were the shooters; Adams was held without bond following indictment. Antoine’s death, and the subsequent killings of two friends, Xavian Perry-Dean and Kerr-Dulea Neil, drew attention to rising youth violence in Memphis.

Did anyone in the Raleigh neighborhood witness the shooting or the vehicle that pulled up at Kerwood and Winwood?
