Trucker Gunned Down in South Memphis

Quote:
(Memphis, TN 12/20/2007) A Memphis truck driver is dead tonight after police say he was shot several times behind this BBQ store in South Memphis.
"The investigation shows he was shot behind the business and drove next store to call for help," said Memphis Homicide Lt. Mark Miller.
Investigators say their murder victim didn't make it very far. Hours later you could still see how the victim half parked his truck at the neighboring gas station, his cell phone from which he dialed 9-1-1 was still resting on the running board when police gathered it for evidence.
"It hurts to know he's out here working and somebody shot him," said the victim's boss Stony Suitt.
Suitt says he was a good employee and a loving father. His employee was just working extra hours to make this season a little brighter for his family.
"Right before Christmas...he was just trying to get in extra time to make extra money."
Meanwhile police were on the scene for three hours Thursday evening interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence from this year's one hundred and fifty sixth homicide. The name of the victim has yet to be released.

Somehow I am not suprised something like this happened in Memphis. I wonder if it was a Swift driver leaving/coming out of the terminal there..... or from the Black Tails across the road from it.

If that man had been armed, he very well may be alive today.
