In the early morning hours of a December day in Memphis, Tennessee, a confrontation that began as a dispute ended in the tragic death of Mark Small. On December 15, 2018, in the 1100 block of Rozelle, an altercation involving Small and two unidentified men escalated with fatal consequences. Shots rang out around 4:30 a.m., and when police arrived, they discovered Small suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Emergency services transported the wounded man to a nearby hospital in critical
condition, but his injuries proved to be too severe, and he later died. The initial investigation by the Memphis Police Department suggested that the shooting stemmed from a fight between Small and the two men. After the shooting, the two suspects fled the scene, disappearing into the pre-dawn darkness in what was described as a gray or red pickup truck of an unknown make and model.
In the days that followed, law enforcement began their search for the two individuals responsible for Small's death. As of early January 2019, the Memphis police were still actively hunting for the two suspects. Despite the ongoing investigation, there have been no publicly available updates regarding any arrests, the identification of the suspects, or the filing of any charges in connection with the murder of Mark Small. The case remains a painful memory for those who knew him, a story that concluded with a violent act but has yet to find a resolution in the justice system.
