SUMMARY: A high school student, Antonio Faon Jr., was shot and killed in Cordova, while spending time with friends. His mother, Courney McMullen, expressed her grief, revealing she was just 10 minutes away from picking him up when the incident occurred. Shelby County deputies arrested a 16-year-old, a close friend of Antonio, who has been charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. The tragic event has deeply affected Antonio’s family, particularly his sisters, as they struggle with their loss. This case also highlights the concerning issue of gun violence among teens in Memphis.
