In the summer of 2017, the life of a 30-year-old African American man from Memphis, Tennessee, was tragically cut short. Dexter A. Gerone 'DP' Price, a resident of Memphis who worked at the LSI Warehouse, was killed in what has been described as an act of gun violence. While his obituary states he died on August 16, 2017, other records indicate the fatal incident occurred on August 8, 2017.
This loving father of one son was remembered by friends and family for his happy personality and willingness to help others.
Following the shooting, the Memphis Police Department launched an investigation into his death. During their inquiries, authorities identified a person of interest in the case, Octerrious Herron. Despite this development, no immediate arrests were made in connection with the homicide. The investigation into who was responsible for Dexter Price's death remains open, and law enforcement continues to seek information that may lead to a resolution for his family and friends who are still seeking justice.
As of now, no suspects have been formally charged in the death of Dexter Price. The case has not resulted in any litigation or murder trials, leaving a void in the hearts of his loved ones. His family and friends gathered to celebrate his life with a visitation on August 25, 2017, followed by a funeral service the next day at New Mount Olive Baptist Church. He was laid to rest at New Park Cemetery. The community continues to remember him fondly as they await answers and closure in his unsolved case.
