James G. Wilson, a 39-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in north Memphis in the early hours of Saturday, June 20, 2009. The shooting happened about 2:45 a.m. near the intersection of Life Avenue and Thomas Street, just north of the old Firestone plant. Responding officers from the Old Allen Station found Wilson in the street with a gunshot wound; he was taken to the Regional Medical Center and died shortly after arrival.

Witnesses said Wilson had been in a dispute with an unknown individual immediately before a single, fatal shot. The suspect ran from the scene on foot and was not caught. Investigators recovered Wilson’s vehicle at the scene, and authorities indicated robbery may have been the motive. His death was recorded as the 61st homicide in Memphis for 2009, and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone have information about that night or recall seeing a person fleeing on foot near Life Avenue and Thomas Street?
