Fifteen-year-old Alexia Curry, a Dyersburg High School student, was fatally shot in the Cumberland Street area of Dyersburg, Tennessee, in the early morning hours of Sunday, June 28, 2026. Officers responded to a weapons complaint around 1 a.m. and found Alexia with a fatal gunshot wound; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Within hours a sixteen-year-old male was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; his name has not been released because he is a juvenile. He is being held in a juvenile detention center pending a detention hearing, and the District Attorney will decide whether to seek transfer to adult court via a juvenile transfer hearing. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and have not disclosed what led to the shooting.

Dyersburg City Schools opened the high school to provide counseling and support for students and staff. Does anyone who was in the Cumberland Street area that night or who knew Alexia have information that could help the investigation?
