Fifteen-year-old Jacques Nelson was shot while visiting Breezy Point Apartments in the Frayser neighborhood of Memphis on the evening of Saturday, November 11, 2023. He had been at the complex with a friend to see his cousin when an argument in the parking lot reportedly escalated to gunfire. Witnesses heard a single shot; surveillance video shows people running and a black car fleeing the scene.

Jacques was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition and died about a day later with his father, Jarvis Nelson, at his side. He was a student and football player at Central High School and was remembered by his father as an outstanding athlete who admired his cousin, NFL player Calvin Austin III. The investigation remains open; no arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced.

If anyone was at Breezy Point Apartments that night or has information about the shooting or the black car, please share what is known with investigators.
