A fight inside a McDonald’s in the Frayser neighborhood of Memphis ended in a fatal shooting on April 22, 2025. At about 5:20 p.m. in the 3100 block of Thomas Street, 30-year-old Trivez L. Washington became involved in a physical altercation with another man. Surveillance footage shows the two fighting and a man with a gun firing; after an initial shot the fight continued and the gunman fired several more times. Washington, who was unarmed, was found behind the front counter and pronounced dead at the scene.

Family members described Washington as a beloved, peaceful man and a father to a young son; they launched a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs. Police say two men who were with the shooter are persons of interest and have released images seeking the public’s help. No arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing.

If anyone was at that McDonald’s that evening or recognizes the men released by police, please share what you know with investigators.
