Rick Buchanan, a local DJ in Memphis known as ‘Slick Rick’, was found decapitated in his home Wednesday afternoon and his own brother was the one who discovered the gruesome scene.
John Buchanan spoke to Fox 13 shortly after discovering his brother’s decapitated body.
“I thought his coat was covering his head like it was cold or something,” John said. “I ran out and then came back in. And then I realized it was something worse.”
He later explained that Rick was grabbing his keys and had his pants pulled down when he discovered the body. John also noticed that the back door of the house was open.
The Memphis Police Department is seeking details about the DJ’s death amid an ongoing investigation.
‘Slick Rick’ had long performed in the Memphis area until 2014, when he was shot outside a club. According to John Buchanan, from that moment on it was difficult for his brother to find work since what interested her most was staying inside his house with his dog, Lucky.
A decapitated person certainly draws attention to Memphis, which has had its fair share of wildly violent and unexplained crimes.
In November 2023, a doctor working at St. Jude Children’s Hospital was killed while walking with his family in a popular downtown park. A senseless gunman killed four people in September 2022 while driving around the city shooting at random people. That senseless act of violence came less than 48 hours after Eliza Fletcher’s body was found after she was abducted while jogging near the University of Memphis campus.
