Michael Parker was 27 when he was found with a gunshot wound in the 3800 block of Gamewell Road in Memphis on July 28, 2014. He was taken to the Regional Medical Center in critical condition and did not survive his injuries.

The Memphis Police Department identified a suspect within weeks. On August 9, 2014, 22-year-old Darrin Walker was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Parker’s death. The charge alleges a premeditated killing and set the case on a path through the criminal courts.

The community and Parker’s family were left to await the outcome of those proceedings; the post describes the charge but does not provide later court or case resolution details. If anyone knew Michael Parker or has information about the shooting, please share what can help the investigation.
