Marcus DeShon Anderson, a 36-year-old Black man, was found dead on the back patio of a home in the 3400 block of Barbwood Drive in the Parkway Village area of Memphis on the morning of June 9, 2015. Neighbors called police after someone on a back porch appeared not to be moving; officers located Anderson with an apparent gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting came amid local unease after another man, 43-year-old Harold Kimbrough, had been shot and killed weeks earlier on the same road and found behind a vacant home in the 3300 block of Barbwood Drive.

Nine days after Anderson’s death police arrested 37-year-old Melvin Summerville and charged him with voluntary manslaughter as the investigation continued. An obituary published days after the killing identified Anderson as a Memphis native and listed surviving children and siblings and funeral arrangements.

Does anyone who lived on Barbwood Drive in June 2015 remember details that could shed light on what happened that morning?
