On the evening of May 21, 2024, in the Frayser neighborhood of Memphis, 44-year-old Terrence Bean was found in the kitchen of a home in the 3300 block of Ardmore Street with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the incident began as a domestic argument between Terrence and his wife, Elita Bean, reportedly over a set of keys; the fight allegedly included one of their children and moved from the kitchen to a bedroom and back.

According to a child witness, Terrence retrieved a gun, handed it to Elita, and told her to shoot him; officers found three spent shell casings near his body and a knife later recovered from a garbage can. Investigators noted Terrence had also suffered cuts, and Elita initially told police the gun went off during a struggle. She was taken to a hospital with shoulder pain, appeared highly intoxicated, and was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder; bond was later set at $50,000 and her case was sent to a Shelby County Grand Jury.

If anyone in Frayser knew the Beans or witnessed the events of May 21, does additional information about the timeline or what happened in the home exist?
