Deon Saulsberry was 18 when he was shot and killed after an argument on a street in southeast Memphis. The shooting occurred December 8, 2015, near his home on Croley Drive, in the area of Cottonwood Road and South Perkins Road. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds and did not survive. Saulsberry was a Sheffield High School student who also worked as a material handler at FedEx.

Police took 23-year-old Keyon Powell, described as an acquaintance of Saulsberry, into custody the month after the killing. A Shelby County grand jury later indicted Powell on a charge of premeditated first-degree murder, and he was held in the county jail awaiting trial. The dispute that preceded the shooting is identified as the apparent motive.

If anyone knew Deon, was in that neighborhood that night, or has information about the argument or the events that followed, please share what is known.
