Jeremy Lampkin, 25, was killed in Memphis on August 16, 2015, after intervening in a violent dispute near the University of Memphis. The conflict began eight days earlier when Antoine Hinton allegedly beat his 25-year-old girlfriend with his fists and a handgun, causing facial fractures and then held her at gunpoint in her apartment. Hinton reportedly used the woman’s phone to text Lampkin and lure him to the scene.

When Lampkin arrived in the 600 block of Patterson Street he was confronted by Hinton, struck in the face and shot three times. Lampkin died at the scene; Hinton fled but was arrested the next day at a local motel. A grand jury later returned multiple charges against Hinton, and a Criminal Court jury convicted him of first-degree murder and other felonies, resulting in an automatic life sentence for Lampkin’s murder.

If anyone knew Jeremy, was with him that day, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward.
