Two charged in connection with murder of Memphis man Shaun Hamblen

A man missing for the last week was shot and killed in a robbery, according to a Shelby County affidavit.

Alfonzo Amos, 21, has been charged with first-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery in the death of 23-year-old Shaun Hamblen.

A second suspect, 22-year-old Deeric Walton, has been charged with four counts of a convicted felon in possession of a handgun and possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture delivery or sell, according to police.

[...]

The affidavit said Amos admitted to "taking part" in Hamblen's disappearance and that Hamblen "had been shot multiple times and died as a result of those injuries."

Amos "also admitted to taking several items of value from Hamblen during his disappearance," according to the affidavit.

IMO, sounds like Alfonzo Amos talked and said where to find Shaun, possible deal? . Doesn't sound like he was the shooter but did participate in the robbery and probably other stuff. Sounds like Deeric Walton was the actual shooter. Again IMO I think IIRC for TN, they both will get murder charges, one may be a little less time but still. Such tragedy.

This goes back to my original theory, that IN MY OPINION mods, this was drug related.
 
Since his phone and wallet were in his car, what "several items of value" could they have taken? Watch maybe? Ugh.. it's just all so senseless.
Unfortunately, I believe it was a drug deal, a purchase for recreational use, and instead of delivering the goods they killed him, took the cash he was going to use for payment and kept the drugs to sell to someone else. The wallet may have been left, but it's easy to empty, and a phone might trace back to their location.
 
Shaun hasn’t been located though?

He was recovered in the vacant house on McDuff.

Police then received information that a body was found in the 3600 block of McDuff, which is a residential area more than 10 miles away from where the car was located.

A body was found on the property, and the identity has not been released by police.

However, Hamblen’s mother – Michelle Simpson – said in a Facebook post Thursday that the family’s “fears have been confirmed.”
