Jerome Dodson, 20, was killed in Memphis on December 14, 2015, after an incident that began with the theft of a GMC Yukon SUV. Dodson and an accomplice, Demetrius James, were contacted through Facebook by the vehicle’s owner, Darrell Wren, who arranged to meet them at Oakhaven Park to recover the property. Wren concealed himself in the trunk of his girlfriend’s car armed with a gun and, when the meeting began, emerged and opened fire.

Dodson sustained multiple gunshot wounds that damaged his spine, lungs, and heart and proved fatal. Wren was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting. The case raises questions about the sequence of events leading up to the rendezvous and the decision to ambush rather than involve law enforcement.

If anyone knew Dodson, James, or had information about the theft or the meeting at Oakhaven Park, please share what you know.
