Roy Haynes, 61, was found dead inside an apartment on McLemore Street in Brownsville, Tennessee on December 5, 2023. Investigators determined he had been shot on December 4, 2023, and classified his death as a homicide.

Authorities identified 61-year-old Richard West of North McLemore as a suspect; court filings allege the motive was robbery because Haynes was known to carry large amounts of cash, and the killing was planned in advance. Arrest warrants for first-degree murder and especially aggravated assault were issued on December 16, 2023, and West surrendered to police the next day and is in custody while legal proceedings continue.

If anyone knew Roy, his routines, or saw anything around McLemore Street in early December 2023, please share information with the Brownsville Police Department.
