Accused FedExForum shooting suspect out of jail on bond

Memphis Police said Kevin Young was charged in relation to the September 7 shooting, while two others with him were arrested on unrelated charges.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man accused of a shooting inside a concert at the FedExForum that injured one person and prompted widespread discussion on venue security is now out of jail on bond, according to court records.

This comes after the Shelby County District Attorney General's Office said in September 2023 that a judge had granted its request to revoke bond for 22-year-old Kevin Young. According to court records as of Jan. 25, 2024, bond was reinstated for Young, and court records show he posted a bond of at least $305,000 for several cases on Feb. 8.

According to Memphis Police, Young, a Memphis rapper going by the name "Kato2tymes," who they said is a well-known and documented member of the Rich and Ruthless gang, was arrested Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023, at a Cordova home along with two other men. Young was developed as a suspect in the Sept. 7 shooting inside FedExForum during rapper Lil Baby's concert.

Memphis Police responded to the shooting Sept. 7 just before 10:30 p.m. at FedExForum. A man was found shot and rushed to the hospital in critical condition and was in non-critical the following morning, according to MPD.

MPD said after the shooting, the concert was canceled and everyone was cleared out of the building. They said no other injuries were reported. 

Young is charged with reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon, and felony weapons charges. 

He was previously arrested for first degree murder in 2017 and aggravated assault in 2019.

The two men arrested alongside him were charged with unrelated felony weapons and drug charges.
