Alleged Beale Street shooter’s bond stands at $1M

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The request to lower an alleged shooter’s $1 million bond was denied, according to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office.

Quaverre Rogers is charged with First-Degree Murder after Memphis Police say he killed a man in Downtown Memphis back in March.

Rogers’ bond was set at $1 million, but he requested it to be reduced to $100,000.

According to the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office, the request was made because of Rogers’ “clean record and potential self-defense claim.”

After hearing from two witnesses, a lieutenant and the victim’s wife, the State argued that Rogers’ illegal gun possession and the nature of the shooting made him a danger to the community.

The court decided to uphold the $1 million bond.
