MEMPHIS, Tenn — 21-year-old Cameron Deshawn Westbrook has been indicted for first-degree murder in the February 8 murder of Andre Harwell in front of a Northaven store, the Shelby County District Attorney's Office said Wednesday.

Westbrook is being held without bond in the Shelby County Jail.

The sheriff’s office said deputies responded to a shooting about 1:45 p.m. February 8 at the Penny Pantry in the 4900 block of Breckenwood Drive in northwest Shelby County. They found Harwell shot to death at the scene.

Surveillance video showed Westbrook follow the victim, Andre Harwell, 30, into the store and then out of the store. After a brief argument, detectives said, Westbrook pulled a handgun and shot Harwell multiple times.

The video showed Westbrook walk away, but then return and shoot the unresponsive victim several more times.

Westbrook was arrested nine days later.
