Eugene McNeal, 33, was shot and killed on a South Memphis sidewalk shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 31, 2026. He was found near the intersection of St. Paul and Boyd with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators used surveillance and cellphone footage to identify a dark Nissan Altima that pulled up near the house where McNeal was located. Several males exited the vehicle, approached McNeal on the sidewalk, and shots were fired. The car was traced to the grandfather of 29-year-old Okorie Deshun Thomas.

Authorities located and arrested Thomas on April 7 as he was getting into the same Nissan Altima. He was charged with second-degree murder and tampering with evidence. During questioning, Thomas allegedly said he handed the gun to someone he knew as Lil Blood after the shooting and that several males fled the scene. Thomas reportedly had a prior conviction for aggravated assault in 2025.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or saw the dark Nissan Altima in the St. Paul and Boyd area that night, please share what you know.
