A disagreement inside a Memphis Family Dollar on July 25, 2023, escalated into a fatal shooting that left 35-year-old Jeremy Maddox dead. The store was on Mendenhall Road near Knight Arnold when a fight turned physical and someone produced a firearm; police found Maddox deceased at the scene.

Investigators identified two brothers, Jermaine and Jeremy Carlton, as suspects. A wallet with one brother’s identification was recovered at the scene. Both men were arrested and charged with second-degree murder; in August 2023 Jeremy Carlton posted bond and was released while Jermaine remained jailed awaiting a bond hearing.

The shooting prompted renewed concern about gun violence in public spaces. If anyone was in that store or nearby that day and saw what happened, please share what you know with investigators.
