Read our privacy policy A man who faces the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder in a daylong shooting rampage that paralyzed Memphis and left three people dead and three others wounded will face trial in July, a judge said Friday. Ezekiel Kelly has pleaded not guilty to more than two dozen state charges in the September 2022 mass shooting, which led to a citywide shelter-in-place order and a frantic manhunt. During a news conference in March 2023, Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy said prosecutors plan to seek death if Kelly is found guilty of first-degree murder. At least three witnesses saw Kelly shoot Tunstall during a gathering at a Memphis home at about 1 a.m. on Sept. 7, 2022, according to a police affidavit.
