Jacobie Amos, 31, was shot and killed on June 28, 2026, at the Winbranch Apartments on Branchway Drive in the Whitehaven neighborhood of Memphis. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found Amos and an unidentified woman with serious gunshot wounds; both were taken to a hospital and Amos did not survive. The woman remained in critical condition.

Police say the scene was cordoned off and detectives canvassed the complex. Investigators have described a person of interest last seen in a black hoodie and jogging pants with red stripes and have asked the public for tips. Some preliminary information mentioned a heated argument over religion as a possible precipitating factor, but a motive has not been confirmed by law enforcement. No arrests or charges had been announced.

Family and friends described Amos as a loving father, son, and brother; a fundraising page was created to help with funeral expenses. If anyone has information about the shooting or the person seen in the black hoodie, please share what is known with the Memphis Police Department.
