On the evening of Wednesday, April 24, 2024, 37-year-old Javodrick J. Gordon was found fatally shot in his bed at a home on Cloister Avenue in the Parkway Village area of Memphis, Tennessee. A family member who checked on him after he didn’t show up for work discovered he had sustained gunshot wounds to the head and chest; there were no signs of a struggle or forced entry in the residence.

Investigators learned Gordon’s 2017 Infiniti was missing and used the vehicle’s GPS to locate it on East Shelby Drive in the Capleville area. When officers tried to stop the car, the driver fled; the pursuit ended when the vehicle was abandoned and the suspect ran into a nearby home, where officers gained entry and took the individual into custody. The arrested person was 17-year-old Montrell Kinds. During questioning, Kinds reportedly admitted entering Gordon’s house and taking the car, claiming a struggle over a gun under a pillow led to the fatal shots, but detectives found no physical evidence of a struggle at the scene.

Kinds was booked on a three-million-dollar bond and faces charges including first-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery. Did anyone in Parkway Village or Capleville see the Infiniti or notice anything unusual on April 24?
