On the evening of September 6, 2014, 20-year-old Derrick Glasper was shot and killed while sitting in the driver’s seat of a Ford Explorer at a Mapco gas station in the Frayser neighborhood of Memphis. Friends in the vehicle — including 19-year-old Vinell Ayers and Fontaine Craft — were reportedly handling a handgun in the back seat when it discharged, striking Glasper in the back and upper chest. He was taken to Regional Medical Center but did not survive.

Police say surveillance footage from the gas station captured Ayers hiding the firearm under a storage shed behind the store, and Ayers was arrested the same day. He was charged with reckless homicide and tampering with or fabricating evidence. The case centers on a single moment of negligent weapon handling that had fatal consequences for Glasper and left his community grieving.

If anyone was at the Mapco that night or has information about what happened in the Explorer, please come forward.
