In late February 2011 a woman in South Memphis survived an encounter with a man police believe was linked to a string of murders. Katrina Peterson, 26, was shot after a man in a dark-colored Dodge Charger or Chrysler 300 pulled a gun on her on the night of February 26, 2011. She moved as he fired, was struck and wounded, then managed to stumble and run about four blocks before getting help and being taken to the Regional Medical Center in extremely critical condition.

From her hospital bed Peterson gave detectives a description of her attacker: a Black man about 24 years old with cornrows. A composite sketch was produced and circulated. Forensic evidence from multiple crime scenes was also collected, but the suspect has not been identified or apprehended. The man who shot Peterson is believed to have murdered at least three other women. Peterson was later arrested for prostitution and, according to investigators, became uncooperative with the attempted-murder investigation.

Does anyone have information about the dark-colored Charger or Chrysler 300 seen in South Memphis that night?
