MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A $10,000 reward is now being offered in a more than year-old cold case murder along Interstate 240.

Memphis Police said it happened on Sunday, Aug. 21, 2022, just after midnight on the Perkins Rd. ramp onto I-240. 

Police said they found four people inside a Ford F150 on the ramp. Investigators said three of people inside were shot when people inside a black sedan opened fire on the truck. 

According to police, passenger Ragan Martin, 26, died on the scene, and the other two who were shot were taken to Regional One in non-critical condition.
