Patrick Houston Jr was 21 when he was shot and killed in Memphis on the afternoon of Friday, January 10, 2025. Officers responded at about 1:15 p.m. to the intersection of Ketchum Road and Long Street in the Imogene Heights neighborhood, near Charjean Park, and found Houston with an apparent gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. He was the son of Memphis rapper Project Pat and Alicia Evans-Houston and the nephew of Three 6 Mafia co-founder Juicy J, and friends and associates in the local rap community offered condolences.

The investigation produced indictments: a grand jury charged Jermiesia Franklin, who was 16 at the time of the shooting, with first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, and tampering with evidence, alleging she fired the fatal shot and stole Houston’s cell phone. A separate indictment charged Talia Jones with facilitation of first-degree murder.

If anyone in Memphis knew Patrick, saw him on January 10, 2025, or has information about the shooting, please come forward to investigators.
