Tamakia McKinney was 31 when her body was found the morning of January 27, 2011, near Mt. Carmel Cemetery in South Memphis, Tennessee. A mother of two, McKinney had been shot to death; her family later acknowledged she had been involved in sex work though she had no prostitution record. Her killing was the first in a string of violent attacks on women in the same area that soon included two other murdered sex workers, Jessica Lewis and Rhonda Wells, and a survivor, Katrina Peterson.

Forensic testing linked the scenes: DNA from the same unidentified male was recovered and matched across the cases. Peterson survived her attack and provided a description of a young Black man, about 24 years old with cornrows, driving a dark Dodge Charger or Chrysler 300; a composite sketch was released. Despite eyewitness information, DNA links, and clear connections between the murders, no arrests have been announced and the cases remain unsolved.

Did anyone who lived or worked in South Memphis around January 2011 see a dark Charger or Chrysler 300, or recognize the composite sketch?
