Kameron Cantrell, 21, was shot and killed on March 31, 2026, at an apartment complex in the Hickory Hill area of Memphis. Officers responding around 6:36 p.m. found Kameron suffering from gunshot wounds on the 6100 block of Ridgewyck Drive near Ridgeway Road and Knight Arnold Road; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Initial accounts described three male suspects in all-black clothing last seen heading eastbound on Knight Arnold Road. Investigators reviewed video and identified three people of interest; the inquiry later shifted into a homicide probe with at least one named suspect. On April 4, 2026, police took 18-year-old Tristan Smith into custody; he was identified as the man wearing a black hoodie with the word Saint and was charged with First-Degree Murder in the Perpetration of Aggravated Robbery, tampering with or fabricating evidence, and unlawful possession of a weapon during a violent felony. Police said two additional suspects remained unidentified and asked the public for tips.

Kameron’s death was memorialized in obituaries and gun violence records, and funeral services were arranged through Serenity Funeral Home in Memphis.
