OKLAHOMA CITY — A multi-state law enforcement investigation has led to the arrest of 39-year-old Ashundra Lee in Oklahoma City in connection with the July 21 fatal shooting of a motorcyclist in Memphis, Tennessee. Lee was taken into custody by local authorities and officially booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center. Law enforcement officials confirmed that Lee was located hundreds of miles away from the crime scene following an intensive inter-agency tracking effort.
Stolen Vehicle Used in Multi-State Flight After Fatal Shooting
According to investigators in Tennessee, the homicide occurred on July 21 when a motorcyclist was fatally shot during a violent encounter in Memphis. Following the shooting, authorities state that Lee and an accomplice stole a vehicle to flee the scene and escape across state lines. Interstate tracking measures eventually placed Lee in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, where officers executed her arrest without further incident.
Second Suspect Remains at Large as Authorities Seek Public Assistance
While Lee remains in custody awaiting extradition proceedings back to Shelby County, Tennessee, law enforcement agencies emphasize that the investigation remains active. A second suspect involved in the fatal shooting and subsequent vehicle theft has not yet been apprehended and remains at large. Authorities in both Tennessee and Oklahoma are urging anyone with information regarding the second suspect's identity or whereabouts to contact the Memphis Police Department, Crime Stoppers, or local law enforcement immediately.
