The city of Memphis has established a $100,000 reward fund to encourage individuals to come clean with information about certain homicide cases. If tips enable the Memphis Police Department to solve the murder mysteries, the person who provided the info will receive a portion of that fund.
The murders of Deryck DeShaun Davenport (23), Jack Lassiter (78), Marco Antonio Calero (35), Napoleon Yates (42), Calvin Riley (53), Cora Gatewood, (83), and Joey Lacey (age unknown) were chosen by police director Larry Godwin as crimes eligible for tip reward money.
