On the night of December 17, 2014, 32-year-old Marcus Turner of southwest Memphis was killed after two men forced their way into his home while he and his girlfriend had been visiting his grandmother. Turner confronted the gunman and a struggle followed. He was later found unresponsive on the living room floor with blunt-force trauma and a fatal .22-caliber gunshot wound to the chest. The house showed signs of forced entry and a violent struggle, and investigators recovered a .38-caliber revolver, scattered .22-caliber ammunition, a tubular rifle magazine, bloodstained clothing, and DNA swabs showing Turner’s blood mixed with at least one other person’s.

Veasley initially identified Rodney Williams as the gunman, then later identified Antonious Little T Johnson as the shooter and Williams as the second intruder. Both teenagers were indicted by a Shelby County grand jury on first-degree felony murder and related charges; at trial the jury convicted both men and imposed life sentences. What details about the night might someone from the neighborhood remember that could clarify how events unfolded?
