Jeremiah Arnold was 16 when he was shot and killed in Midtown Memphis in March 2024. The shooting happened after midnight outside a short-term rental on Roland Street where a party had been held. Jeremiah was found in his vehicle with a gunshot wound to the head and rushed to a nearby hospital, but did not survive.

He and friends were leaving to go to another gathering when, as they walked to his car, an unknown assailant drove by and opened fire, striking Jeremiah and two other teenagers. A 17-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl survived. Jeremiah’s mother, Jessica Kizer, learned of the shooting after tracking his location and becoming alarmed when he stopped answering her calls.

The Memphis Police Department believes the attack was targeted, but months after the shooting no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. The family has issued public pleas and Crime Stoppers is asking for tips. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
