A late-night argument in Memphis turned deadly on July 13, 2025. Police say officers answered a distress call about 1:15 a.m. in the Messick Buntyn area and found Timothy Echols Jr. in the 3400 block of Southern Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds. Echols was taken to Regional One Hospital and died of his injuries.

Authorities charged 27-year-old Tajee Turnage with first-degree murder. Turnage, an armed security guard who was the roommate of Echols’ girlfriend, reportedly came after a FaceTime call from his roommate claiming Echols had stolen Turnage’s gun, assaulted her, and fired shots at her. Turnage told police he found Echols in a car, said Echols pointed a gun at him, and then fired multiple times with a mini Draco. Turnage was at the scene, gave a statement, and was booked into jail; video footage may shed further light on the confrontation.
