On a Sunday night in September 2014, the life of a young Memphis man was tragically cut short. Derrwin Morgan, a 23-year-old male, was discovered with a gunshot wound at 4266 Eastwind. The Memphis police received a call about an aggravated assault around 9:30 p.m. on September 28, 2014. Upon their arrival, officers found Mr. Morgan, who was then rushed to the Regional Medical Center.
Despite the efforts of medical personnel, he was pronounced dead at the hospital. An obituary later listed his age as 24 and mentioned his nickname was 'Pooh Gotti'. The death of Derrwin Morgan was one of five shootings that occurred in Memphis over that same weekend, though his was the only fatality.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the Memphis Police Department's investigation was ongoing. At the time of the initial reports, no arrests had been made in connection with the homicide. Further details regarding any suspects or the motive behind the shooting were not publicly released.
