Jasmine Eason was a 32-year-old mother of eight and ran a hair braiding business in South Memphis. Family described her as loving and trying to build a better life for her children, but they also said she was in a tumultuous relationship and had feared for her life.

In the early morning of December 9, 2023, police responded to a Rayner Street home about 4:30 a.m. Officers found Eason with a critical gunshot wound and her 36-year-old boyfriend, Kordelro Harris, with a stab wound to his hand. Eason died at a hospital; three of her children were home during the incident. Harris first told investigators two masked men had attacked them, but the children contradicted that account. He later said the pair had argued, that Eason stabbed his hand, and that he retrieved a gun from a dresser and shot her as she tried to run away.

A search turned up a bloody 9mm handgun and an AR rifle that had been reported stolen years earlier, along with marijuana and cocaine. Harris was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, theft, and drug and weapons offenses. Did anyone in the Memphis area know Jasmine or have information about what happened that night?
