On January 7, 2023, 49-year-old Ramarin Baker Sr., a Black/African American man, was shot and killed during a confrontation in the 3700 block of Ridgemont Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee. Police had been called for reports of shots fired and found Baker Sr. on the ground engaged in a physical struggle with his 19-year-old son, Ramarin Baker Jr.

Officers observed Baker Jr. armed with a handgun and ordered him to drop it. After a tense negotiation, officers persuaded Baker Jr. to relinquish the gun; he was taken into custody. Investigators recovered two handguns at the scene, one with an illegal modification, and charged Baker Jr. with second-degree murder and possession of a prohibited weapon.

Does anyone have information about what led to the struggle that afternoon or knew the Bakers and can help fill in details?
