Mystery as double amputee in wheelchair found slain in field by father and son on four-wheelers
A MAN has been indicted for the mysterious murder of a double amputee who was found dead in a field by a father and son riding ATVs.
Prosecutors claim Jerome Nichols, 24, and another man kidnapped Ramarreo Prince Akins, 41, on August 12, 2021, outside a grocery store in Memphis, Tennessee.
Surveillance video obtained by officials allegedly shows Nichols and the second suspect punching and slapping Akins, who was confined to a wheelchair due to the amputation of both his legs.
Next, the footage reportedly shows the duo kidnapping Akins from his wheelchair at gunpoint, putting him in a green Saturn SUV.
The video reportedly ends with the suspects driving away from the grocery store, leaving Akins' wheelchair behind, prosecutors claim.
Two days later, a local father and son riding four-wheelers in the field found the 41-year-old's body riddled with bullet holes.
