Betty Mae Davis Pratt, 73, was found shot to death in a northeast Memphis home in the Nutbush area on October 22, 2025. The discovery of Pratt’s body came alongside a second victim found dismembered inside the same residence; police say the scene prompted a 12-hour investigation. A suspect was identified and later charged in connection with both deaths.

Neighbors described the house as a known crack house tied to drug activity and violence; the property had multiple police calls over the years and had been the site of two earlier homicides before Pratt’s killing.

Does anyone have information about activities at the National Street address or the people who lived there that could help explain what happened that night?
