Latorria Glover was an ambitious and kind young woman who was just beginning to build her dreams. The 20-year-old Black woman, known to loved ones as Torri, had recently started her own online clothing business, Torri’s Glam Shack, and was doing well. Her sister-in-law, Jamiaalen Allen, remembered her as a "great person" who "didn't mind helping anybody."
Her close-knit family’s profound loss was captured on a memorial blanket covered in photos of Latorria through the years.
On the night of May 31, 2021, Latorria’s life was cut short in Memphis, Tennessee. Around 11:00 p.m., she was found in the 4700 block of Chevron Road inside her Nissan, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators determined she had crashed her car after being shot. Latorria was rushed to a hospital, but her injuries were too severe, and she died a few hours later. In the week that followed, her mother, LaToya Blisseett, pleaded for justice for her only daughter, as police had yet to make an arrest.
A break in the case came unexpectedly a week later. On June 7, Memphis police officers were pursuing suspects involved in a separate armed carjacking of a red Mustang. The chase ended miles away, and police apprehended two people who fled the stolen car: 21-year-old Antonio McEntyre and a juvenile. During questioning, the investigation pivoted to the unsolved murder of Latorria Glover.
Police stated that McEntyre confessed to his involvement in a planned carjacking of the Nissan that Latorria was driving on the night she was killed. According to his statement to police, another man who was in the car with him was the person who actually shot Latorria. Following his confession, authorities charged Antonio McEntyre with first-degree murder in connection with Latorria’s death, as well as with the carjacking of the Mustang.
As of June 2021, the investigation was considered ongoing as police continued to look into the possibility of other suspects. Latorria’s family, who said she "didn't deserve this at all," continued to hope for justice. Her sister-in-law planned to continue Latorria's clothing business in her honor. A reward was offered for information, and anyone with tips about the case was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 901-528-CASH.
