In the early hours of a Saturday in Memphis, Tennessee, the life of Adarrell Sr. Anderson, a 45-year-old man, was brought to a violent and abrupt end. On May 27, 2017, at approximately 2:10 a.m., police responded to a call of a shooting at the intersection of Walnut Street and Polk Avenue. Upon their arrival, they discovered a 1998 Lincoln riddled with bullets.
Inside, slumped over in the driver's seat, was Anderson, who had been shot multiple times.
A witness who was with Anderson at the time of the shooting told police that the shots were fired as they were getting into the car. This individual was unharmed in the attack.

The case has grown cold, and the suspect who fled the scene that night has never been officially named or apprehended. The tragic death of Adarrell Sr. Anderson remains an unsolved crime, leaving his family still searching for answers and justice.
