Terrance Davis, 25, was found dead in the street near Cedar Street and North Third in Memphis around 7:00 a.m. on March 6, 2014, after a passerby reported a body by the curb. Responding officers observed blood around his head and shell casings nearby. The medical examiner ruled the manner of death homicide and the cause multiple gunshot wounds, including shots to the left cheek and jaw, chest, left hand, and left hip; forensic findings indicated at least one contact wound with soot and a muzzle imprint. Toxicology detected heroin components and Xanax in his blood.

Neighbors reported a power outage and said they heard multiple gunshots the night before followed by a vehicle squealing away. Investigators linked a .380 pistol recovered from the trunk of a car belonging to Lavinceia Allen to the killing through ballistics; that gun matched fragments from Davis and a spent bullet at the scene. Calvin Banks arrived at a hospital with a gunshot wound to his foot before Davis was found and later said he had shot himself; witnesses and court testimony later placed Banks at the scene, alleging he shot Davis after an argument and left him on the street. The case proceeded to indictment and trial; a jury convicted Banks of first-degree premeditated murder and felon-in-possession, and the trial court imposed life.

Are there neighbors or others who remember activity on Cedar Street that night or who can add detail about Davis’s last hours?
