Juvenile charged with murder in case
that left a woman dead and child hurt
A distraught man called the Memphis Police Department on October 30, 2022.
He said his sister and her three-year-old son had been sitting in a car on Exchange Street, near the medical district, when two cars pulled up and the occupants poured gunshots into her car. The vehicles were described as a black Charger and silver Chrysler.
The woman died at the scene. Her small son, shot in the hand, survived.
One day later, on Halloween, CrimeStoppers received a tip. A Ray Armstrong was identified as one of the shooters.
Detectives soon verified what the tipster revealed and Armstrong, who has a juvenile record, was arrested for first degree murder and remanded to juvenile court.
This was one of two homicide cases solved during the month of November thanks to citizens who called information to the CrimeStoppers tips line, 528-CASH (2274).
