A late-night dispute at Prive restaurant in Memphis turned deadly on March 29, 2023. Around 11:15 p.m., an altercation that began inside the establishment spilled into the parking lot in the 6900 block of Winchester Road and erupted in gunfire. Two men were fatally shot; Terrial Alexander was pronounced dead at the scene and 39-year-old Larry Bailey was taken to Regional One Hospital in critical condition and later died of his wounds. Five other people, four men and one woman, were also shot and transported to area hospitals in private vehicles.

Investigators later stated that Bailey and Alexander were the intended targets. Three suspects were arrested: Johnny Sanford, identified by a witness as the person who shot Bailey and charged with first-degree murder and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm; Damone Joseph Sykes, who faces attempted first-degree murder, robbery, aggravated assault and weapons charges after video reportedly showed him taking a gun from a man and shooting him; and Kendrick Gray, indicted on charges including first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. Preliminary hearings were scheduled for April 2023.

Does anyone have information about Bailey’s movements that night or contacts who might help clarify what led to the dispute?
