On the afternoon of January 29, 2025, a dispute inside a home on College Park Drive in the Soulsville neighborhood of Memphis turned deadly after an argument, reportedly over a dice game, escalated into gunfire. Police who arrived just after 3:30 p.m. found five people had been shot. Leon Parker, 30, was pronounced dead at the scene. Another victim, 27-year-old Marcus Epps, was taken to a hospital and later died. Three others — two men and a woman — were critically wounded and transported to area hospitals.

Friends remembered Leon Parker as a devoted father and a positive influence in the neighborhood who brought joy to those around him. Investigators later identified a suspect; on March 25, 2025, 31-year-old Lorenzo Brown was arrested and charged after a surviving female victim identified him and said he had shot her in the leg while she lay in the kitchen. Does anyone in Soulsville have information about the events inside that house or knew Leon Parker?
