On the evening of Saturday, December 9, 2023, 24-year-old Tatyana Fitzpatrick was struck by a stray bullet while sitting on a wall and looking at her phone in the 3900 block of Frayser-Raleigh Road in Memphis. A group of men were playing dice nearby when surveillance footage shows three of them firing toward the road; one of the last shots, reportedly from a man in a hoodie with a star on it, struck Tatyana. She was taken privately to Methodist North Hospital, where she later died of her injuries.

A tip to CrimeStoppers led investigators to identify Marvin Watkins as the man in the star-emblazoned hoodie. Officers detained Watkins on January 4, 2024, while he was driving a stolen Nissan Altima; he denied firing a weapon but identified himself in still images from the surveillance video. Watkins was indicted on a reckless homicide charge and faced additional charges including auto theft and burglary. He was released on bond in January 2024 and re-arrested in May 2024, when bond was raised and his cases were sent to a Shelby County Grand Jury as of May 24, 2024.

Who has information about the shooting or remembers seeing activity near Frayser-Raleigh Road that night?
