MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Police have released surveillance pictures in two of the three separate shootings Sunday night into Monday morning that left two men dead and a third critically injured.
MPD said officers responded to a shooting about 7:45 p.m. on Sunday, April 2, 2023, at the intersection of Jackson Ave. and Tillman St. They found one man shot. He was taken to Regional One Hospital, but died from his injuries.
Investigators said surveillance cameras in the area captured images of a dark-colored four-door sedan that was seen following the victim. They are looking for that car in connection with the investigation.
Memphis Police said about an hour later at about 8:40 p.m., officers responded to a shooting in the 3300 block of University St. near Frayser Blvd. in Frayser. They said they found a man shot and he died at the scene.
Investigators said surveillance video was discovered and showed a man walking around the car wash parking lot before approaching the victim. They said the video showed the suspect speaking to the victim, then pulling a rifle from his front waistband and firing at the man. Police said the suspect then chased after the victim into the bay of the car wash, demanding the keys to the victim’s white 2014 Cadillac CTS.
Investigators said the suspect took off in the victim's vehicle.
Just after midnight on Monday, April 3, investigators were called to a shooting at the intersection of Chelsea and Carpenter. They found a man shot and he was taken to Regional One Hospital in critical condition.
