In the cold of a Memphis January night, the life of 22-year-old Tremaine Artry was cut short by gunfire. On January 14, 2014, police responded to a call and found Artry with a gunshot wound. He was a former student at the University of Memphis and a 2009 graduate of East High School where he was recognized as an All-American Athlete.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting remain scarce in public records.
Information regarding any potential suspects or arrests in connection with the homicide has not been made available. The investigation into his death was handled by the Memphis Police Department, but the case has not been publicly solved, and no individuals have been charged or convicted for his murder.
Tremaine Artry was a father, leaving behind a daughter. His death was mourned by his fiancée, parents, siblings, and a large extended family. His loved ones remembered him as a vibrant young man with a promising future, now tragically unfulfilled. The absence of resolution in his case leaves a lingering sense of injustice for a life taken too soon.
