A dice game on Josephine Street in the Orange Mound neighborhood of Memphis turned deadly on the evening of May 17, 2025. According to reports, a dispute broke out around 8:30 p.m.; a 32-year-old participant, Marquaveous Jones, reportedly left the gathering, returned with a handgun, demanded money from 49-year-old Travis Woods, and then shot Woods when the demand was not met. Woods was taken to Regional One Hospital in critical condition and later died of his injuries.

Woods is remembered by friends as a well-known and well-liked presence in Orange Mound. The Memphis Police Department identified Jones as the primary suspect and arrested him. Prosecutors filed charges including first-degree murder during the perpetration of a robbery and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun.

Does anyone in Orange Mound have information about that evening or the people who were at the game?
