   MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Three people have been charged in connection   
   with the fatal shooting of a civic leader and former airline   
   executive in Memphis, Tennessee.   
      
   Memphis police said on Twitter late Saturday that 22-year-old   
   McKinney Wright, 18-year-old Quandarius Richardson and a 16-year-   
   old have been charged with first-degree murder in perpetration   
   of a robbery and especially aggravated robbery in the shooting   
   of Philip Trenary.   
      
   It was not immediately known early Sunday if they have lawyers.   
      
   Trenary was the president and CEO of the Greater Memphis Chamber   
   of Commerce. He was shot Thursday night near where the chamber   
   was holding its annual "Move it Memphis" race, near a large   
   apartment complex and not far from historic Beale Street.   
      
   The 64-year-old Trenary was also the former head of Pinnacle   
   Airlines. An Oklahoma native, he has been lauded for his   
   community work in his adopted city of Memphis.   
      
   Police have said Trenary was alone when someone approached him   
   and shot him. They said a white Ford F150 truck was identified   
   as it was leaving the crime scene.   
      
   Officers on Friday chased a truck matching the description of   
   the vehicle that drove away after Trenary was shot. Police said   
   the truck had been stolen.   
      
   Richardson was arrested on theft charges after the truck he was   
   riding in crashed into other vehicles during the chase, police   
   said.   
      
   According to statements made by Wright and the 16-year-old,   
   Richardson and Wright discussed possible robbery targets as they   
   drove around downtown Memphis the night Trenary was shot, a   
   police affidavit said.   
      
   Trenary founded Exec Express Airlines in Stillwater, Oklahoma,   
   in 1984. The company moved to Texas and was renamed Lone Star   
   Airlines in 1987.   
      
   He came to Memphis in 1997 to run a regional airline that   
   morphed into Pinnacle, a $1 billion, 7,700-employee regional   
   airline operator.   
      
   Trenary oversaw the acquisition and integration of Colgan Air in   
   2007 and Mesaba Airlines in 2010 before leaving Pinnacle in 2011.   
      
   He was named president and CEO of the Greater Memphis Chamber of   
   Commerce in 2014 and guided the launch of the chamber's   
   Chairman's Circle, a group of more than 100 business leaders   
   working to bolster the economy of the Memphis region.
