Stephen Steve Shepard, 32, was fatally shot on July 28, 2025, in the parking lot of a Wendy’s on Winchester Road in Memphis. The shooting followed a dispute inside the restaurant between a female employee and the general manager, 37-year-old Darelle Bowers, after the employee asked to leave her shift early. The employee said Bowers threatened to slap her, and she called Shepard to pick her up.

Video described in reports shows Shepard arriving, a physical altercation with Bowers in the parking lot, Shepard throwing a punch, and Bowers firing a handgun. Shepard was shot in the stomach, fell, and was then allegedly slapped by Bowers. Emergency services took Shepard to a hospital in critical condition; he later died of his injuries. Police recovered a handgun from Bowers’s waistband, detained him at the scene, and charged him with first-degree murder.

Was anyone else at the Wendy’s that night able to see or record what happened in the parking lot?
