In the early morning hours of Sunday, November 29, 2009, the life of 27-year-old Rebecca Looney, a female from Memphis, Tennessee, was tragically cut short. Her body was discovered in the parking lot of a Dollar General store located at 4111 Summer Avenue. The initial call to police was for a 'man-down,' but responding officers found Looney unresponsive at the scene.
The Memphis Police Department quickly determined that her death was not accidental or of natural causes.
An investigation revealed that Looney had sustained a fatal gunshot wound, and her case was officially classified as a homicide. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the motive behind the killing remains a mystery to this day. It is also unclear why Looney was at that particular location in the early hours of the morning.
In the years following her death, the case has grown cold. No arrests have ever been made in connection with the murder of Rebecca Looney, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The Memphis Police Department has, at various times, sought information from the public, believing that someone may hold the key to solving the crime. However, thus far, no information has led to a breakthrough in the investigation. The case of who killed Rebecca Looney remains an unsolved and painful chapter for her family and the Memphis community.
