Memphis police were called to the 300-block of Hollowell Avenue around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 9. When they arrived, they found a 54-year-old man slumped over a cooler on the front porch with apparent gunshot wounds; the victim, later identified as Willie Cook, was pronounced dead on the scene.
