Cateria Stokes was 15 when she was killed in her bed in the earliest hours of April 10, 2015, in the Parkway Village area of Memphis. Around 2 a.m., someone opened fire from outside the home on the 4500 block of Cottonwood; a bedroom wall was shattered and Cateria was struck as she slept. A younger sister who had been in the same room survived, and a man in his early 60s who was also in the house was wounded.

Investigators treated the incident as a drive-by shooting and asked the public for help identifying the vehicle or any witnesses. The family described Cateria as bright and funny, fond of baking and surprising people with cakes that hid candy inside. Reports noted that, as of months after the killing, no arrest had been announced in Cateria’s death. The same day’s violence also included a separate drive-by that killed seven-year-old Kristan Williams; arrests and later convictions in that separate case involved Cateria’s brother, Carlos Stokes, among others, but publicity continued to state that no arrest had been made in Cateria’s killing.

Did anyone in Parkway Village that night see or hear a car that might identify who opened fire?
