MEMPHIS, Tenn — Memphis Police say two people have been detained after a juvenile was believed to be shot Wednesday in downtown Memphis.
MPD officers responded to a shooting just before 1 p.m. on March 8, 2023, in the 200 block of Madison Ave. near B.B. King Blvd., not far from AutoZone Park. They found a male juvenile with what they thought to be a gunshot wound and he was taken to Regional One Hospital in critical condition.
MPD later determined the 17-year-old teen was seen breaking into a car near the scene, and the owner, along with another man, confronted him. A shot was fired, but no one was struck.
The teen did have a large cut, and was taken to the hospital. All three were detained.
Police are still working to determine who fired the shot.
