Danielle Alexander, a 23-year-old woman from Memphis, TN, tragically lost her life on April 24, 2014. She was found shot to death in her home in Orange Mound, along with her husband, James Alexander. Their bodies were discovered by their 7-year-old daughter, who had woken up to find her parents dead.
The investigation into their deaths revealed that three men were arrested in connection with the murders.
Ricky Durham, also known as PK, was the first to be arrested and charged with first-degree murder and theft. Following his arrest, two other men, Kendrick Stark, 18, and Devin Gary, 21, were also charged with first-degree murder and theft. Although none of the men admitted to pulling the trigger, Durham confessed to stealing a TV from the house.
Family members believe that the murders were staged to look like a robbery gone bad. They pointed to a fight Danielle had been involved in, which was captured on video and posted on her Facebook page, as a possible motive. The family also mentioned that someone who had been staying with the Alexanders the night of the murders might be connected to the crime.
Despite the arrests, the case remains under investigation as authorities work to piece together the events leading to the tragic deaths of Danielle and James Alexander. The couple's four young children were left without their parents, and a fund was set up to support them.
The loss of Danielle Alexander, a young woman with her whole life ahead of her, has left a lasting impact on her family and community. The investigation continues as the search for justice for Danielle and her family persists.
