Roger Mayes was 47 when he was found fatally shot in an open field on Dison Avenue near E. Person Avenue in South Memphis on the night of Thursday, May 18, 2017. He was discovered lying on his back and his wallet, phone, and shoes were missing. The scene suggested a robbery, but his sister Cheryl Lott believes the killing was not random and says a woman may have lured him to that location. The case went cold over the following years; as of early 2023 no arrests had been announced and the Memphis Police Department has periodically asked the public for help. Mayes is remembered by his family as kind and generous.

Did anyone in South Memphis that night see Roger or notice anything unusual around Dison Avenue and E. Person Avenue?
