MEMPHIS, Tenn — Southaven Police are asking for help identifying the suspects in a shooting early Friday morning.
SPD officers said they responded to a call about a gunshot injury at Baptist Memorial early Friday, April 7, 2023. They learned a victim had been shot four or five times.
Investigators said the victim lived in the Stone Creek subdivision, and found their 2021 Dodge Charger had been stolen Friday morning. Police said the victim tracked their car to The Luxe Apartments, and when they tried to get their car back, at least four suspects confronted the victim and shot them.
SPD said the victim is undergoing surgery at Regional One Hospital.
Investigators released images of one of the suspects, and said the suspects were in a dark-colored Dodge Charger.
Anyone with information is asked to call Southaven Crime Stoppers at 662-429-TIPS (8477).
Southaven Police also released this information regarding what to do when a vehicle is stolen:
"The Southaven Police Department would like to address the best method to handle a stolen vehicle. If your vehicle is stolen, immediately notify law enforcement. We have the ability to rapidly share information with surrounding agencies, and have the vehicle entered onto NCIC. If you have the ability to track your vehicle, share that with the responding officers as quickly as possible. This often can lead to a quick resolution of the incident.
The Southaven Police Department strongly recommends to not chase, or confront the suspects in any manner whatsoever. Property can be replaced, you cannot be.
Please allow the Southaven Police Department and other law enforcement agencies to address these incident."
