Memphis Man Shot Into Group, Killing Man

Authorities say a Memphis man who fired a gun into an outdoor card game has been charged with killing one of the players. The Shelby County district attorney’s office says 32-year-old Derrick Conway has been indicted on a first-degree murder charge in the May 2020 death of 49-year-old Freddie Sledge. Investigators said several men were playing cards at a table in a south Memphis field when Conway drove up, said something to one of the men and then began shooting. Sledge was shot multiple times and died at a hospital. Investigators said he was not the intended target.
