D’Anthony Obee was sixteen and a sophomore at East High School when he was chased and shot on Semmes Street in the Orange Mound neighborhood of Memphis in the early hours of March 12, 2016. Two unidentified individuals appeared and began to pursue him around 2 a.m.; the chase ended in gunfire and D’Anthony died about two hours later.

His family — including his mother Tonesha Brown, grandmother Debbie Amos, and aunt Antonette Johnson — and the wider community expressed deep grief and frustration as the city was seeing a sharp rise in homicides compared with the previous year. No arrests or suspect identifications were announced immediately after the shooting, and the case underscored investigative challenges amid a particularly deadly weekend that included two other homicides.

Did anyone in Orange Mound on March 12, 2016, see or hear anything that could help identify those involved?
