Bond set for man charged in deadly Cache 42 shooting
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The man charged in a deadly triple shooting outside Cache 42 that left two people, including a 16-year-old, injured and a third victim dead, appeared in court Friday morning. The accused, 24-year-old Jerod Lawson, is charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder and employing a firearm. He is now held in jail on a $500,000 bond. ORIGINAL STORY: Man killed in shooting outside Cache 42, 2 people injured 'Gunfire breaks out between multiple groups in the parking lot,' is how the Shelby County Sheriff's Office described the events that took place outside Cache 42 earlier this month. Court documents say that around 10:30 p.m. on June 7, surveillance video showed multiple suspects running from the business to their cars to grab firearms. While this is happening, deputies say a man, later identified as Jerod Lawson, was seen on camera standing between two groups that were shooting at each other. Court documents say at no point did it appear that anyone was firing at Lawson. However, deputies say that as one group hopped in a car to leave, Lawson allegedly shot at their vehicle multiple times. A passenger in the vehicle, 18-year-old Cornelius Otis, was shot. Otis later died at the hospital. The other two people in the car were not hit. Man arrested in connection to fatal Cache 42 shooting Lawson was later charged and entered a not guilty plea in court on Friday. 'We're not going to worry about the bond. We're going to worry about fighting the case, and once I think more facts come out, I think it'll be better to address the bond at that time,' said Arthur Horne III, Lawson's defense attorney. Due to the nature of the charge, it is unclear if Lawson is accused of firing the shot that killed Otis or if Otis was shot by someone else. Court documents do not say exactly how many people opened fire that night. Amid the chaos, deputies say two other people were also struck by gunfire. 'We just don't want the community to have a rush to judgment against Mr. Lawson. I think all the facts will come out eventually, and we're going to keep working, fighting this case,' Horne said. In addition to these recent charges, Lawson has another pending case for being in possession of a prohibited weapon. Jerod Lawson is due back in court on July 10. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
