Ruben Poindexter was 21 when he was killed in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 18, 2010. The homicide occurred during a period when the city was dealing with a high rate of violent crime, and the initial investigation produced few solid leads.

As the case went cold it was transferred to the Memphis Police Department’s Cold Case Unit for renewed review and to take advantage of forensic advances not available in 2010.

Anyone with information about Ruben Poindexter, his movements that night, or potential witnesses is asked to contact the Memphis Police Department’s Cold Case Unit.
