MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A white security guard has been charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of an unarmed Black man at a Memphis gas station in August.
Court records show that Gregory Livingston has been indicted for the killing of Alvin Motley Jr. in a dispute over loud music in east Memphis on Aug. 7, The Commercial Appeal reports.
Motley was a passenger in a car at a Kroger gas station when Livingston approached and engaged in a conversation that prosecutors said steadily escalated, according to the documents. Subsequently, as Motley walked toward Livingston during the argument and suggested they discuss the matter “like men,” Livingston drew his firearm and fired a single shot into Motley’s chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a prior court hearing, Livingston’s attorneys cited an account from one witness that Motley had threatened Livingston physically during the altercation, according to the newspaper.
