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.

Investigators say Akins was shot more than six times.

Nichols was arrested a month later in connection with Akins’ murder.

Police officials are still searching for the second prep, who has yet to be identified.

Nichols has been charged with premeditated first-degree murder, first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon, and aggravated robbery resulting in serious bodily injury.
