$1M bond for suspect in shooting that left man paralyzed
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The suspect in a 2021 shooting was taken into custody on Thursday, almost four years after a man was left paralyzed from gunfire, Memphis Police say.
Kevion Stevenson, 26, is charged with Attempted First-Degree Murder and Employing a Firearm During Commission or Attempt to Commit a Dangerous Felony.
Reports say officers responded to a shooting in the 3500 block of Willow Creek at the Villas at Willow Creek Apartments on April 20, 2021.
The victim on the scene had been shot five times — four times in the back and once in the arm. He told police that he was sitting in his 2008 Hyundai Elantra when a man named 'Kevo' walked up to the car and fired multiple shots into the vehicle.

On January 16, 2025, investigators followed up on the case. The victim provided investigators with a photo of the man he claims shot him four years ago.
Reports say Multi Gang Unit investigators who were allegedly familiar with the suspect through gang intel identified 'Kevo' as Kevion Stevenson.
On January 17, the victim identified Stevenson in a 6-person photo lineup as the man who shot him five times, leaving him paralyzed and wheelchair-bound.
Stevenson's bond was set at $1 million. He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
