An argument over money in a South Memphis home ended in an 81-year-old man’s death. Robert L. Crutcher was shot and killed on Monday, April 24, 2023, after a heated dispute with his nephew inside a residence on Kingsview Drive. Family members say the disagreement was over $15,000 and that the nephew allegedly shot his uncle during the altercation. After being shot, Mr. Crutcher reportedly collapsed on top of his 90-year-old sister, who had been present in the home.

The suspect did not flee the neighborhood. He was seen walking across the street to another house where he was staying; Memphis Police located and arrested him there without incident. The suspect is identified as 67-year-old William Shaw and was charged with second-degree murder. Family members remember Robert Crutcher as kind and generous.

Does anyone in the Kingsview Drive area remember the family or the events of that day and can share details that might shed light on what happened?
