2005Corinio Allen Pruitt was born on May 12, 1980. He grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. Pruitt became involved in criminal activities, which ultimately led to serious consequences. He was arrested two days after a crime that took place on August 2, 2005.
On August 2, 2005, Corinio Allen Pruitt committed a violent crime in Shelby County, Tennessee. He carjacked 79-year-old Lawrence Guidroz as he was leaving a grocery store in Oakhaven. Pruitt attacked Guidroz, using physical force to beat him during the incident.
After the crime, Pruitt did not evade capture. Instead, he surrendered to the authorities just two days later. His actions led to a significant legal case, and he was charged with first-degree murder.
Almost three years after the murder, on March 1, 2008, a jury found Corinio Pruitt guilty. The court sentenced him to death for the brutal act that took the life of Guidroz. The case left a lasting impact on the Oakhaven community, where Guidroz had been well-known and respected.
