Raleigh Man Convicted of Killing Rival

Dec. 2, 2021 – A Raleigh man was convicted Wednesday in the 2017 death of a 34-year-old acquaintance who was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat of his parked car with multiple gunshot wounds, said Shelby County Dist. Atty. Gen. Amy Weirich.

   A Criminal Court jury convicted Darius Lamon Mack of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. The murder conviction carries an automatic sentence of life in prison. He will be sentenced on the tampering offense in January by Judge John Campbell.

   The shooting occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 4, 2017, outside of a rooming house in the 3300 block of Keystone Ave. where Mack and victim Tyreece Fosset, 34, both had rooms.

   A residential security camera showed a man walk up to Fosset’s vehicle and fire a gun several times into the car, striking him several times in the head and neck. The shooter fled on foot, but later returned to retrieve shell casings from the scene.

   Mack was developed as a suspect and was arrested two weeks later asleep in his car outside a residence on Quinn in South Memphis.   

   The case was handled by Asst. Dist. Attys. Joey Griffith and Katie Farley.
