A night that began as a summer gathering in Memphis turned deadly on June 9, 2025. Corey Fields, 22, was shot at a short-term rental after an argument at the party; he was struck and later died from his injuries. Law enforcement responded and opened a homicide investigation.

Fields was described by those who knew him as a talented, up-and-coming barber with a positive, joyful demeanor. He is remembered as a beloved son and friend whose promising future was cut short by gunfire. The Memphis Police Department arrested a teenager in connection with the shooting, though the suspect’s name has not been released because of their age. Legal proceedings are pending.

If anyone attended that party or has information about the events that led to Corey Fields being shot, please come forward to assist the investigation.
