MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A $25,000 CrimeStoppers award is available to anyone who can help police solve the murder of Timothy Odum.
Odum, 43, was killed on Thursday, June 1, outside a convenience store at King Avenue and Ford Road, near Walker Homes in South Memphis. He was shot and his prosthetic leg was stolen. There are possibly two suspects who have not been identified.
The video of the murder shows a large group of people attacking and robbing Odum as he sat in his SUV. A man exited a black Ford SUV, ran up to the victim, and fired multiple shots at Odum, who was still in his SUV recovering from the initial assault.
MPD is requesting help from witnesses at the scene. The family has posted $8,000 with CrimeStoppers. That money would be available, along with $2,000 paid by CrimeStoppers in homicides, to anyone who can provide information that helps MPD charge one or more suspects in the case.
Anyone with information should contact CrimeStoppers at 528-CASH (2274). All calls and text messages are kept anonymous at all times.
