In Loving Memory of Leah Carnes

With heavy hearts, the Memphis community mourns the sudden loss of Leah Carnes, 32, whose life was tragically cut short Monday night at the Centennial Gardens Apartments. What should have been an ordinary evening turned into heartbreak, leaving family, friends, and neighbors struggling to cope with the loss of someone whose presence brought light and warmth to those around her.

According to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 6:15 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the 7800 block of Capital Peak Lane East, where Leah was shot during an apparent domestic dispute between two women. She was transported by a bystander to Methodist Germantown, but despite medical efforts, she was pronounced deceased. Authorities have arrested 33-year-old Jasmine Schreane in connection with the shooting, who now faces multiple charges, including First Degree Murder, Attempted First Degree Murder, and Felony Vandalism. The investigation remains ongoing.
