MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man is charged with murder and abuse of a corpse after he allegedly admitted to shooting a man and dumping his body into McKellar Lake.
The victim, 62-year-old RC Alexander, was the subject of a City Watch Wednesday after his girlfriend told police she found him shot in the front yard of their home on Orleans Street in South Memphis, but was later unable to find him.
Jimmy Towns Fullilove, 28, is charged with Alexander's death.

According to police, Alexander's girlfriend called them at 1 a.m. Wednesday. She told officers that her boyfriend was shot during an argument with Fullilove.
When police arrived, they found spent shell casings, but Alexander was gone. Police checked with local hospitals, but no gunshot victims had arrived, and the woman said she didn't know where he went.
A little after 8 a.m., officers responded again to the same address in the 1800 block of South Orleans for an armed party call. They detained six people, including Fullilove, who were taken in for questioning.

Police said they found a large pool of blood in the front yard, and large amounts of blood in the rear cargo compartment of a Honda CRV.
While police were interviewing Fullilove, they say he waived his rights and admitted what happened, saying he and Alexander had been fighting verbally. He left, grabbed his gun, and came back to the Orleans address to find Alexander armed with a knife.
'I shot him three times in the back,' Fullilove allegedly told police.
Afterward, Fullilove said he put Alexander in the back of his Honda and was going to take him to a hospital. Instead, he took him to Martin Luther King Riverside Park and dumped his body in McKellar Lake.
