Fullilove is not a common name. I just watched an older episode of the First 48 where the Memphis PD busted a another Fullilove for beating to death some dude with the butt of a shotgun... Just saying
You actually recall the names of the PERPS? I watch the same shows but the last - or any other names - mean nothing. (Although, from what I've found, that particular murder was brutal beyond belief.) In this case, Fullilove really isn't a common name in any area. Second cousins? Uncle through DNA testing? Next-door neighbor?
My guess - they know each other and he, the perp, was part of her 'alleged' threats. It's very fake. She's a perp.

(Memphis 7/28/10) Memphis city council member Janis Fullilove has received multiple death threats related to her efforts to ban discrimination against gays in city government.
Police think the threats are serious enough have increased patrols around her home to keep her safe. All four calls came Tuesday and each call mentioned the proposed employee non-discrimination ordinance. Someone also threw a dead cat on her lawn. Each phone call mentioned her support for banning discrimination against gays in city government. Distraught, Fullilove reached out to Jonathan Cole with the Tennessee Equality Project.
"She essentially said that they were threatening to kill her," said Cole, who thinks the death threats are just another example of intolerance in Memphis. "It's scary and our city needs to stand up to this kind of ugliness."
Police are keeping a close eye on Fullilove and her family. She's asked her telephone provider to track the calls. Meanwhile, Cole says the councilwoman's experience should highlight the need for the ordinance to protect gays and lesbians working for the city.
