Chico Carver was 23 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of April 8, 2012. The shooting occurred in the parking lot of the Pure Passion Nightclub in Whitehaven, Memphis; multiple shots struck Carver and he was rushed to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis but was pronounced dead on arrival. He was an African-American man from Memphis and his death was the fifth fatality at that nightclub over a sixteen-year span.

The Memphis Police Department opened a homicide investigation but struggled to identify a suspect or motive. Progress was hindered by a lack of witnesses willing to come forward, and no arrests have been announced. The person or persons responsible remain unknown.

If anyone was in the Pure Passion Nightclub parking lot that morning or has information about Chico Carver’s death, please share what you know with investigators.
