A 19-year-old was killed in Memphis last summer. On August 21, 2023, Jalen Murray was shot in the Soulsville neighborhood near Edith Avenue and South Orleans Street. First responders found him with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Regional One Hospital and later pronounced dead. The shooting prompted a Memphis Police Department homicide investigation.

Investigators released information about a red Chevrolet Tahoe as a vehicle of interest and asked the public to help identify a passenger who might have witnessed the incident. About a month after the killing, 18-year-old Eugene McShane was arrested and charged with Murray’s murder. Reports say both young men were involved in the same youth program; a witness reportedly heard McShane demanding Murray’s gun in an alley shortly before the shot. McShane was reportedly wearing a GPS ankle monitor at the time because of a prior aggravated robbery case.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the red Chevrolet Tahoe or the passenger seen near Edith Avenue and South Orleans Street, please share what is known.
