On a tragic day in Memphis, Tennessee, Zquintin Malone, an 18-year-old male, lost his life. On August 4, 2015, in the driveway of a residence on Morningside Street, Malone was fatally shot.

homicide. Their efforts led to the identification of a suspect, Brent Cobbins. He was subsequently taken into custody and faced a charge of first-degree murder in the perpetration of theft. Investigators determined that an argument preceded the fatal shooting and that Cobbins was the individual who fired the weapon.
The arrest of Brent Cobbins marked a significant step toward justice for Zquintin Malone and his grieving family. The case then moved into the legal system for prosecution. The community came together to support Malone's loved ones during the difficult time following his death.
