On October 31, 2014, 21-year-old Samuel ’Mr No-Lackin’ Johnson was fatally shot while walking on Glenalp near Derbyshire in Memphis. Surveillance footage reportedly captured his final moments as he walked down the street, and witnesses say shots came from an occupant of a dark-colored car. Samuel’s father has said his son had received a phone call inviting him to a Halloween party at a gym and believes the call lured him to his death. Weeks earlier Samuel had survived a gunshot to the back, a detail his family cites as evidence of targeted violence.

Memphis Police have indicated possible links to several local gangs, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. The investigation and the family’s public pleas continue to leave many unanswered questions about motive and who was responsible. If anyone knew Samuel, saw him that night, or has information about the shooting or the earlier attack, please come forward.
