The Black Urban Times: Memphis Police Arrest Suspects in Shooting of Adrian Cobb: "Kordarius Childs, 16 and Rodricuas Tucker, 22 are in custody and charged with attempted second degree murder and using a firearm while committing a dangerous felony.

On June 20, police were called to Club 296 around 11:35 p.m. about a shooting. When they arrived they found Adrian Cobb, 18, face down in the middle of the street with a gunshot wound. She was taken to Regional Medical Center in critical condition, where she died the following day.

Cobb, a College bound athlete, recently graduated from Booker T. Washington and was scheduled to attend Tennessee State this fall on a full scholarship. Friends say she was at Club 269, which is listed as a recording studio in downtown Memphis, at a party when a fight inside of the studio broke out and people were told to leave.

The fight continued outside of the studio when someone pulled a gun and began firing into the crowd. Cobb, an innocent bystander, was trying to move away from the fight when she was shot and killed. During the course of the police investigation, detectives learned that the shooting may have been related to a brand new gang in the city called the Grind-Hard Gang."
