Frank Gaines Whittington II, an 18-year-old from Memphis, was shot and killed on May 29, 2015, two weeks after graduating from Memphis University School. He was found in the parking lot of the Champion Hills Apartments at Windyke beside the driver’s side of an SUV and was pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds, including wounds to a hand and the chest.

Police investigated the shooting as connected to a drug transaction. Officers say the two had agreed to a quarter-pound marijuana deal that deteriorated into an argument over price or quantity. Andrae Tewari, then 20, was identified by police; he told investigators a gun fell from his backpack and a struggle followed, with both men possibly firing. Tewari was shot once in the leg and another bullet passed through the passenger window where he had been seated. He was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and later pleaded guilty to that charge as part of an agreement approved by Whittington’s family, receiving a 20-year sentence.

Are there details about the meeting at Champion Hills Apartments or witnesses from that evening who can add clarity?
