In the holiday season of 2019, a tragic event cut short the life of Christopher Starks, a 43-year-old man from the Memphis, Tennessee area. The night before Christmas, on December 24th, Starks was fatally shot in Cordova, a community just east of Memphis. The violence of the act stood in stark contrast to the festive time of year, leaving a family to grieve during what should have been a period of celebration.
Following the deadly shooting, law enforcement authorities began an immediate
investigation into the circumstances surrounding Starks' death. In the initial stages of the inquiry, three individuals were taken into custody for questioning in connection with the incident. The news of their detainment offered a glimmer of hope that justice for Christopher Starks would be swift. However, further details regarding the identities of these individuals or the specifics of their involvement were not made widely public in the immediate aftermath. The investigation continued as authorities worked to piece together the events that led to the fatal shooting on Christmas Eve.
