In the early summer of 2017, the life of Germany Mason, a 30-year-old Black man from Memphis, Tennessee, was tragically cut short. On June 4, 2017, Mason became the victim of a fatal drive-by shooting in the Westwood area of Memphis, an event that marked the city's 90th homicide of the year.
Following the shooting, the Memphis Police Department launched an investigation into Mason's death to identify those responsible.
His passing was noted in local media, and his obituary was published in The Commercial Appeal, reflecting the community's loss. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the investigation has not led to any publicly announced arrests or the identification of any suspects in connection with the crime. The case remains unresolved, and the search for justice for Germany Mason continues as part of the broader effort to combat violent crime in the city.
